“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”

– Henry Miller

What do you get when you combine a love of history, culture and geography? Someone who loves the unusual journey. That’s me, Shelley!

When I’m planning a trip, I spend hours upon hours digging in to learn everything that makes a place uniquely wonderful. It’s how I uncover the secret locations and uncommon facts that make each trip an unforgettable experience.

I’m ready to share my passion with you when you work with me to plan your custom travel experience. Hope you’re ready to get excited!

North America. South America. Europe. Africa.

I’ve been around, and I’m only getting started.

How It Works

Unique itineraries.

Browse my library of incredible, unique trip itineraries. Each trip book comes fully loaded with cities, experiences, hotels and restaurants. Everything you need to plan a vacation you’ll never forget.


Go completely custom.

Want a fully custom trip? We start with an introductory interview where you tell me your passions and where you want to go. Next, I’ll share some themes and ideas. You tell me what you like!

From there, we embark on the adventure of planning your trip. I’ll get as detailed as you want, and make it as prescriptive or flexible as you’d like.

Finally you’ll get a fun, informative, beautifully personalized tour book that gives you the perfect amount of background to enrich your upcoming trip.


Travel booking.

Purchased an itinerary and now you want help booking? Of course I can help with that too. Dreaming of your next trip should be fun and exciting. Let me do the dirty work.
