Travel Agent: Crafting Adventures for a Lifetime

Travel is not just about where you go — it’s about the stories you collect, the memories you create, and the way each journey enriches your life. As a travel agent with a passion for both luxury and adventure, I don’t focus on “once-in-a-lifetime” trips. Instead, I help you design a lifetime filled with adventures — moments big and small that weave together into the story of your life.

My love for travel began early and has grown with me through every season of life. Disney has been a constant companion along the way. I’ve experienced it as a child, a teenager, an adult, and a parent — and each visit revealed new layers of magic. Staying at resorts with direct monorail connections made navigating the parks easier, especially when traveling with groups as large as twenty, including children, elderly family members, and someone in a wheelchair. Those experiences taught me how important planning and detail are in making every trip enjoyable for everyone, no matter their age or needs.

Beyond Disney, my adventures have taken me far and wide. I’ve sailed on nine cruises, including a Disney Cruise, with itineraries that stretched from the Caribbean to Central America, through the Panama Canal, and across the islands of Aruba, Turks & Caicos, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas. I’ve wandered the streets of Grand Cayman, relaxed in the Florida Keys, and explored the breathtaking beauty of Hawaii. Each destination has left its own mark, adding to the way I design vacations that balance relaxation, discovery, and excitement.

Closer to home, I’ve traveled through much of the continental United States and into eastern Canada. I’ve taken three cross-country motorcycle trips, feeling the freedom of the open road, and one RV journey that offered flexibility and a sense of adventure. These experiences taught me to appreciate the unique beauty of traveling our own country as much as traveling abroad.

Because my own journeys have been so varied, I understand the many ways people like to travel. Some want the ease of all-inclusive resorts, where every detail is taken care of and relaxation comes naturally. Others thrive on the energy of theme parks, where every day is packed with thrills and smiles. Many enjoy the richness of destination-focused travel, diving into the culture, food, and landscapes of one incredible place. And of course, cruises — whether oceanic or river — offer the chance to see the world from a new perspective while enjoying comfort and luxury on board.

When I work with clients, my first priority is listening. What excites you? What comforts you? What do you hope to take away from this journey? My philosophy is simple: your wallet is not my wallet. I focus on your budget, your dreams, and your priorities. My role is to curate options that fit your desires, present enhancements to elevate your adventure, and design an experience that feels uniquely yours.

I also value responsible tourism. Travel should leave a positive mark, not a harmful one. That means supporting local communities, respecting cultures, and minimizing environmental impact wherever possible. I want every trip to be meaningful not only to you but also to the places you visit.

What I offer isn’t just a travel service — it’s a partnership in adventure. I want to be there not just for one trip but for many, helping you and your loved ones build a lifetime of memories. Whether it’s watching your child meet their favorite Disney character for the first time, sailing through turquoise waters on a luxury cruise, or crossing a U.S. state line on a road trip, I’m here to make sure your journey is seamless, enriching, and unforgettable.

Tolkien once wrote that even the smallest person can change the course of the future. Sometimes all it takes is a nudge out the door, like Bilbo leaving the Shire, or the steady encouragement of a wise guide. Think of me as a little of both: the gentle push to begin your adventure and the steadfast support to see it through.

Your next journey is waiting — and it’s just the beginning of a lifetime of adventures. Let’s start planning today.

Great trip advisor!
Reviewed By lissasorespectful - Littleton, NC | Traveled to South Carolina | USA
She hollered at me while wearing cat ear headphones but she did plan my destination bachelorette, destination wedding, hotel booking for my husband and I after our wedding, and has seamlessly planned a big family cruise vacation for the end of the year. She probably will not holler at you being that I am her child, but I promise nothing.
Shawn Perkins responded
"Thanks for the honest review! ?? I may have a slightly dramatic side when it comes to headphones (and my daughter), but I promise my passion for planning your dream trips always shines through. From bachelorette weekends to honeymoon and even entire family cruises, it’s my joy to handle all the details so you can just enjoy the adventure. And yes… I make it fun along the way — cat ears optional for future clients!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
