Luxury Celiac, Autism, Special Needs Travel Expert

I’m Shannon McEvoy, a Certified Travel Adviser with 18 years experience, and the founder of Defying Limits Travel, an award winning boutique travel agency specializing in luxury travel planning and accessible travel itineraries for families, couples, and groups who want more than a one-size-fits-all vacation. Our clients know with our planning, they truly get to be on vacation: without all the gluten free cooking, figuring out if a hoyer lift would fit under their hotel room bed, or feeling like everyone was looking at their child.

I design high touch, custom travel itineraries for those with mobility needs, dietary restrictions (including celiac and food allergies, and lifestyle diets like vegan), cognitive or sensory sensitivities, and other special requirements, without compromising on comfort, style, or elevated experiences. My clients travel in premium and luxury accommodations, knowing every detail has been thoughtfully handled.

As an experienced accessible travel advisor, I go beyond basic hotel reservations. I personally travel to, research, and vet wheelchair accessible resorts, celiac educated cruise ships, mobility friendly excursions, and inclusive luxury destinations, making sure that transportation, room and resort layouts, dining needs, and on the ground logistics truly work in real life, not just on paper.

My agency is built on the belief that accessible travel should also be fun, beautiful, seamless, and luxurious. Whether I’m planning a luxury Caribbean all inclusive resort vacation, a multi-generational family Walt Disney World vacation, a romantic honeymoon in Egypt, or a once-in-a-lifetime accessible cruise, my goal is always the same: to remove stress, advocate for your needs, and create travel experiences that feel effortless.

With my industry partnerships, firsthand destination knowledge, and Diamond-level support, I secure trusted vendors, exclusive perks, and expert problem solving so my clients can travel with confidence and peace of mind.

If you’re looking for a luxury travel agent who truly understands accessible travel planning, I am here to help you travel safely, freely, comfortably, and without limits.
