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!

Hi, I'm Cody! My love for travel began at 16 on a school trip to Costa Rica and has grown into a lifelong passion. I earned an Associate’s Degree in Travel and Tourism in 2003 and have experience in both corporate and leisure travel. As a military spouse and mother of two, my family has been fortunate to be stationed in Germany, Hawaii, and South Korea, which gave us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in local cultures and traditions around the world. I’m dedicated to creating meaningful journeys that help clients connect with local cultures, savor unique experiences, and return home with unforgettable memories.
