About Me

Meet Your Travel Lady

I just wanted to take a moment to say hey y'all. I'm Shannon Daniels, the owner and agent behind Destination Vacation by Shannon. With a personal passion for travel, mixed with Internet ADD, I have always loved planning our family trips, adventures, and endeavors. January 2020, as a new year's resolution, I started my own agency to create memorable vacations for others. This is what I do & I absolutely love it.

 

I handle all sorts of travel arrangements but I especially love all things cruising, Disney, Mexico, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. This is especially fun and exciting when groups gather for family reunions, weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Every trip, I research just like my own family will take that same trip. Secretly, I am dreaming of planning it for us too. I am not so sure my husband appreciates my imaginary budget. Just know, I'm here to do for you what I'd do for my own family. I am honored to have the business and all the clients that have trusted me with their travel plans. Thank you so much for the support. I'm proud of how much we've grown in the last few months and years. If you need anything, please let me know. Reach out to me here, by email at [email protected], or through Facebook. I'm your travel lady. This is the perfect time to plan your travel. Feel free to share this business with your friends and family. I've got get to it because there is travel to plan but I'll gladly add your vacay to the list too.

How did I get here?

Travel as much as you can, as often as you can.
Travel as much as you can, as often as you can.

Originally I'm a southern girl from North Carolina.  After a dozen years in the US Army as a Flight Paramedic, I decided to get out, plant my roots somewhere permanent, and enjoy life with my family.  My first real job outside the Army was working, again, as a Flight Paramedic in west Texas.  For those that don't know EMS life, you're destined to work 12-24 hours shifts.  After long hours and constantly missing my family, I decided to hang my hat in the aviation world.  My husband and I had two more beautiful boys and family became our number one focus.  I still work part-time as a paramedic; however, missing that passion for travel, I started my own agency as a New Year's Resolution a few years back.  I haven't looked back since.

Best US Cross Country Road Trip!
Reviewed By TheRouseCrew - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Utah ~ USA
Shannon did an absolute amazing job helping us with a cross country road trip we were taking for a business need, from NC to Utah! She did an excellent job helping us locate very nice hotels at competitive pricing, in very safe areas... and had everything taken care of when we arrived! She also gave us great suggestions of attractions/sites to see along the way! She has great knowledge of travel, and we will definitely be using Shannon again for all our future travel needs!

Dance trip
Reviewed By Plauritzen - Albuquerque, NM | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
She is very professional and is willing to help to plan the perfect vacation or trip for me and my family. She has planned three of my family trips and would recommend her to any one that is looking to plan a vacation . If she doesn’t have an answer to a question she digs deep and finds the answer to make sure you are satisfied

First Cruise Ever
Reviewed By First Time Cruiser - Abilene, Tx | Traveled to Cozumel ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
She was hard to get a hold of sometimes and didn't respond back to emails or texts in a timely manner or at all. I had to call the cruise line multiple times to get my questions answered and to make sure my room was setup correctly, etc. She is a nice person and very friendly when you do get to talk to her. She really didn't help us out on this cruise which is sad because she came recommended by a very good friend.
