Hi, I'm Shelley! I earned my Travel Agency Management certification in 1996 while living on the island of Oahu as an Army spouse. After spending many years working in large agencies selling cookie-cutter trips out of brochures, I desired a change for myself and for my clients! In 2013 I took the plunge. I left the stuffy cubicle world and went rogue! I opened my very own agency, with an emphasis on creating customized travel packages tailored to each client's unique style! While I can plan nearly any trip, I get the most excited about honeymoons, destination weddings, European river cruises, corporate incentive trips, and all-inclusive travel. I am a certified Romance Travel Specialist and find great joy in turning your special occasions into a lifetime of happy memories!

Hello! Once upon a time, when I was 15, I took my first big international trip to Costa Rica with my Spanish class. I have been hooked on travel ever since! In 2003, I earned my degree in Travel and Tourism. I have always had a deep fascination with exploring different places and cultures. I especially enjoy learning about the history of destinations and trying local dishes. As a military spouse, I have been fortunate to live in, and be immersed in the cultures of, Hawaii for 4 years and Germany for 5 years. I love being able to show people how amazing and transformative travel can be! Over the years, I have gained experience in both leisure and corporate travel.

G'Day! My name is Kelly Bonneau. I am originally from Australia, the "Land Down Under" as most people call it. I have been in the travel industry for over a decade. Shelley and I met many years ago in Hawaii, where we went to travel school together. I was working for a big corporation for many years which was great, but I wanted something more. When Shelley offered me to come and join her agency, I decided to jump in. I'm so glad I did! I love making my clients' adventures become lifelong memories. I specialize in Australia, (of course) , New Zealand, Hawaii, (where it all started), Europe and the Caribbean.
