Tectonic Plates, Michelin Cuisine, and Hot Dogs - An Adventure Flawlessly Executed by Shannon Myers
Reviewed By AJonVacay - Denver | Colorado | USA | Traveled to Reykjavik | Iceland | Europe
After nearly 19 years in the same role, I was ready for a change—but nearly made the mistake of jumping straight into my next job without a break. Thankfully, Shannon Myers convinced me otherwise and helped orchestrate an unforgettable adventure.
She convinced me of the liberating power of solo international travel and then took on the challenge of crafting the perfect getaway: a destination I’d never been to, minimal travel time to maximize my stay, a rich lineup of unique experiences, and of course, great food—all within a reasonable budget. Shannon pulled together three smart destination options: Reykjavik, Montreal, and Dublin. After several calls and emails, I confidently chose Reykjavik, thanks to her thorough recommendations and thoughtful planning.
From booking a direct overnight business class flight, to securing early check-in at the beautiful Iceland Parliament Hotel, Shannon handled every detail.
She planned an amazing itinerary that balanced structure with spontaneity. My highlights included Troll Expeditions snorkeling in Silfra between tectonic plates in glacier water, relaxing for hours at the iconic Blue Lagoon, and road-tripping to waterfalls (foss), driving the Golden Circle, and Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach (made famous by The Game of Thrones).
The food was just as memorable: at TIDES, I had a perfectly prepared charcoal-grilled tenderloin with vitelotte potatoes; at Sümac, the Middle Eastern and North African–inspired dishes were divine—and I even met Chef Thrainn Freyr Vigfusson, who shared his love of Red Rocks Amphitheater where he saw one of his favorite bands, Sigur Ros, back home in Colorado. And yes, even the famous Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur hot dog stand lived up to the hype.
Shannon crafted a journey that felt custom-made. Every day brought something new. She delivered the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and culinary discovery, and I can't wait for Shannon to help me plan my next adventure.

Her experience eclipsed my anxiety about out first
Reviewed By mckpenn - Littleton, CO 80120 | Traveled to Thailand | East and Southeast Asia
From our initial Zoom call with everyone going on this trip, We knew we weren't going to have to worry about anything. Shannon was two steps ahead of us every week leading up to our trip to Thailand, Bali and Gili Air. She gave us wonderful hotels to choose from and we were in five different hotels (not including quick stays at airport hotels) and we loved every one of them. We knew she would be available if we encountered any problems during our 2+ week stay but everything went off without a hitch, and we had a lot of transfers!
I can confidently recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a little or a lot of help in planning a trip.

Dream Honeymoon in the UK
Reviewed By Jeff and Nancy - Tacoma, Washington | Traveled to United Kingdom | Europe
Nancy and I have been planning this trip since before we got married in August of ‘24. We got in touch with Shannon Myers to help us with the details. We gave her a ton of information via email and a few zoom calls. We have her where and a budget. She gave us the most detailed itinerary I think I’ve ever seen which was amazing for me as I am certainly a planner. The entire 21 days from start to finish were filled with memories of a lifetime and I cannot be more grateful. I highly recommend Shannon Myers when you are planning a trip. I promise you that she will be worth it.

Amazing Trip
Reviewed By Nancy P. - Tacoma WA | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
If you're planning a trip and want someone who knows how to mix magic with logistics, Shannon Myers is your person. ???
From the very beginning, Shannon took the time to really get to know us—our travel style, our preferences, and what kind of experiences would make this trip unforgettable. She stayed within our budget without ever making it feel like a compromise, and somehow managed to choose excursions and accommodations that felt perfectly us every step of the way.
Every detail was thoughtful—from seamless transfers to stunning hotels, must-see attractions to hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. Plus, her travel tips were gold (especially when navigating new cities and transportation).
Thanks to Shannon, we were able to relax and fully enjoy three amazing weeks through Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and London—with zero stress and a whole lot of wonder.
If you’re dreaming of a vacation but don’t know where to start—start with Shannon Myers. You won’t regret it!

Shannon Myers understood our preferences and travel needs and created a masterpiece travel itinerary for us. Three different countries, flights, transfers, VIP tours, and incredible suggestions. This was my first time to Europe and with her guidance we NAILED it. All accommodations were so impressive and she got us behind the scenes in museums and on tours. Shannon Myers went out of her way to see that we had zero complications. She is also delightful and fun and her knowledge of all things Europe is incredible.

Multiple Stop European Adventure
Reviewed By ShannonMyersFAN1 - Gig Harbor, WA | Traveled to Dublin | Ireland | Europe
Shannon Myers was the best decision we made when planning our adventure. We were looking at multiple cities, different departure and return dates, flights, cars, hotels, and tours. Sure, we could have gone with another travel service that packages their trips based on what they put together in advance. That was not for us! We had specific things we wanted to see and do and right from the first phone call, Shannon Myers was a wealth of information! She took our initial information (dates, times, destinations, how we wanted to travel in the air and on the ground, AND what we were interested in seeing) and within days she scheduled another phone call to layout what she had found. GREAT prices on our flights and ground transportation and the hotels were AMAZING! One of the things that my wife and I loved about Shannon Mayers is that she collected numerous tours and sightseeing options for us to consider. She found us things to do that we weren't even aware of. We traveled to Dubli

Our travel agent Shannon Myers planned the most epic family trip to Japan. She listened to what we wanted, created an itinerary and went back and forth with us to make our plans exactly as we wanted. She is knowledgeable and patient and very easy to work with. She responded quickly to emails throughout our planning and especially while we were on our trip. We had a logistics issue while we were in Japan and she had it taken care of within 5 minutes. I highly recommend using Shannon Myers if you want a travel agent who will work hard for you!

From “no idea where to start” to the trip of a lifetime, Shannon handled it all!
Reviewed By Bre - Morrison, CO | Traveled to Asia
I’ve traveled to over 20 countries, but planning a trip to Asia for the first time? I had absolutely no idea where to start. I just knew I had to be in Chiang Mai by a certain date to meet a friend finishing her study abroad, and the rest was a giant question mark.
Enter Shannon Bird Myers!
Shannon helped us plan every single detail of our trip through Thailand and Bali, including coordinating flights, accommodations, and activities for four people coming from different places, with different travel styles and budgets. She made what could’ve been a logistical nightmare feel easy!
We visited Chiang Mai, Krabi, Phuket, and Ubud from June 4–19, and Shannon took care of everything: personalized hotel suggestions (tailored for both our lower budget and our friend's parents’ preferences), airport pickups, travel between cities, curated excursions, visa tips, luggage guidance, and even little things like currency exchange and travel prep checklists. She even tracked our flight prices and made sure we were all on the same itineraries where needed.
The actual trip? Better than we could’ve imagined! We visited ethical elephant sanctuaries, explored monkey forests, went scuba diving, took Thai cooking classes, stayed in a hotel with chocolate martini happy hour in personal cabanas… and Shannon made it all happen. She checked in during the trip, was super responsive when we had any questions or hiccups, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish.
If you're even thinking about traveling to Southeast Asia, or anywhere that feels overwhelming to plan, working with Shannon is the best decision you’ll make. She took a vague idea and turned it into a trip we’ll talk about forever. She’s flexible, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about helping you have the best experience possible.

Helped turn my scattered ideas into the trip of a lifetime
Reviewed By Sebastian - Ithaca, NY | Traveled to Europe
I’d been to Europe before to visit family, but this was my first time really planning a full trip on my own, and for six weeks no less! I had just graduated college and was excited to explore Europe before starting a new job, but I quickly realized that figuring out how to connect all the dots such as cities, travel routes, logistics, was way harder than I expected.
I had a rough draft of places I wanted to hit (a mix of cities and more outdoorsy spots), but I couldn’t figure out the most efficient way to make it all work. That’s where Shannon Bird Myers came in... and honestly, she changed everything.
Talking to Shannon helped me go from spending hours each day researching with no clear answers, to having a real plan I could picture. She’s super approachable and easy to talk to, and from our first conversation she was clearly excited to help. She listened to our goals, made awesome suggestions, and most importantly, helped us figure out a smart, efficient route that saved us tons of time and money, especially by introducing us to the train systems across Europe, which I hadn't even considered before.
What I really appreciated was that Shannon wasn’t pushy at all. She gave us great ideas for places to go and things to do (some of which ended up being highlights!), but she also let us take the lead on our daily plans. It really felt like a partnership rather than someone just booking things for us.
If you’re planning a big trip and feeling overwhelmed, Shannon will totally put your mind at ease. She takes what you already know, helps fill in the gaps, and turns it into something real and exciting. She's not just a travel agent, she becomes your right-hand person for the whole experience.

Shannon made planning our 6-week Europe trip feel exciting instead of overwhelming!
Reviewed By Breanna - Littleton, CO | Traveled to Europe
If you’re even slightly overwhelmed by planning a big trip, especially one with multiple stops, you need Shannon Bird Myers in your corner!
My boyfriend and I went on a 6-week trip through Europe this summer (Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Nice, Geneva, Zermatt, Salzburg, Vienna, Krakow, and the Dolomites), and I am so thankful we had Shannon to help us piece it all together!! She helped us map out the most efficient route, explained train systems, and gave thoughtful recommendations based on what we were looking for.
Even though I’ve traveled a lot, planning a trip of this size felt impossible. Shannon broke everything down. She created a full itinerary PDF, mapped train routes, suggested excursions, and gave us room to plan our own day-to-day. I finally felt like I could breathe and get excited instead of stressed.
She also helped us navigate harder-to-reach spots like the Dolomites and suggested one of our favorite day trips near Geneva. Shannon even tracked flight prices and gave me a heads-up the moment they dropped... which saved us a lot!
One of the things I appreciated most is that Shannon doesn’t overstep, she works alongside you! She’s organized, responsive, super knowledgeable, and tailors everything to your travel style. She was even available for last-minute questions during our trip, like currency tips and airport rides.
Shannon Bird Myers is genuinely passionate about helping people have amazing experiences. After just one call with her, I finally felt excited instead of overwhelmed, and that feeling stuck with me the whole way through!
