About Me

Specializing in Cultural Immersion in....

I’m an agent specializing in Central and South America, particularly Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina. I also craft vacation packages to the Sunshine State of Florida; Kentucky, which is the Bourbon capital of the world; river cruises all over the world, as well as the destination of Los Cabos in Mexico. With extensive experience traveling to these destinations and living in various states, including Kentucky and Florida, I’ve gained valuable insights into their unique charm. I’ve also trained through their tourism programs and collaborated with renowned suppliers in each location. I’m thrilled to share the incredible natural and cultural wonders of these captivating places. They’ve captured my heart, and I’m passionate about helping others fall in love with them too. These destinations offer a wealth of experiences, and having insider knowledge will enhance your enjoyment immensely.

Neither place disappoints. Tirana is an amazing capital city with a thriving economy, many modern European comforts and resources, and a hospitable vibe that fee...

Client Testimonials

Excellent Experience
Shannon is a wonderful person to have create your travel itinerary. She is a seasoned traveler and knowledgeable travel agent. She does an excellent job at providing information you would otherwise not have known and finding the best places to stay and eat. I didn't have to do anything and it was so stress free. She has a lot of experience traveling and each place we went on her recommendation was memorable. She helped at every point in the travel and we were very pleased with the experience. She was a professional, friendly, easy to work with and knowledgeable, and most of all, it was a value to have nothing fall through during our trip or travel mishaps that would have cost time and money when we only wanted to relax and make the most of the time we had on vacation. I highly recommend using her as your travel agent.
