I am a travel enthusiast who enjoys sharing my knowledge and experience with my clients to ensure they have memorable stress-free vacations.  There is no vacation too big or small for me to handle and I will work tirelessly to find just the right fit for you and your traveling companions.  

My husband Phil and I met in 1987 and were married in Russellville, AR in May 1988.  We have raised two amazing children, Kelsey and Zach, and travel has always been a part of our family.  We have been blessed to be able to enjoy traveling the globe and getting to share that with our children and extended family.  I have worked with Phil in his Insurance Agency for the last 30+ years, and decided to branch out into travel when so many friends and family were coming to me for travel advice anyway.  I get so much joy out of sharing my passion with others and getting to see them enjoy the same adventures! 

My favorite destination is hands-down Hawaii.  We have been going there for 25 years and we always find ourselves going back even though we know the world has so many other wonderful destinations to offer.  It is very simply our happy place.  But that being said, we do find time to visit other places as well. We raised our kids taking them snow-skiing and we have traveled to Colorado, California, Utah, and Canada for skiing vacations.  When I am not working, I enjoy golf, biking, and attending a variety of sporting events and concerts.  Phil was raised in a sports family with all boys and I grew up in a music family, playing violin and singing in my school choir.  We have merged these two interests in our marriage and it has given us so many wonderful memories traveling with our family.  

So although I have only been working in the travel industry since March 2022, I have a wealth of first-hand knowledge and a passion for travel that you can rely on to start planning your future vacations & adventures!

Amazing Trips
Reviewed By Rhonda S. - Gentry AR | Traveled to Washington D.C. | District of Columbia | USA
My husband & I first used Shawna as a travel agent last year when we took a trip to Niagara Falls. I recently used Shawna again for a trip to DC that included not only myself, but my mom & daughter. Shawna took note of our interests & gave us a preliminary packet stating flights, hotels, things to do, etc. Once the vacation was finalized, she would personally deliver the packet to you with highlights! She didn’t stop there! She checked in to make sure we got to our destination with ease, then again she checked to make sure we got home. We will certainly use her in the future. An amazing & very knowledgeable lady, and very nice!

Dream Trip for my Mamaw!
Reviewed By Jenn - gentry, ar | Traveled to Washington D.C. | District of Columbia | USA
My Mom & I worked with Shawna to plan a trip to D.C. which has been my Mamaw's dream for years. Thanks to Shawna, the planning was seamless! She was responsive, she offered any additional planning help, and she checked in on us during and after our trip. Her customer service was above & beyond! We had the best time.
