Hi y'all, I’m Charlene, I started Shield Maiden - Legendary Travel Solutions after a long corporate career in Meeting Planning and Business Travel. I’ve always had a passion for exploring new places and experiencing different cultures.

As a youth, travel was a rare experience. Therefore, my passion for exploring new places and experiencing different cultures grew into a need. I gained Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) status in 2005. Since then, I have combined business with crafting solo adventures as well as family and friends travel, and only looked back in photos!

YOUR ADVOCATE! While my travel experiences have been exceptional, there have also been challenges. Part of founding my own business is the mission of being a travel advocate. We all need someone to call when things get stressful. That's me! I'll take on the burden of working through dilemmas, creating traveler relaxation even during the undesired moments!

YOUR CHOICE! An additional part of our mission is to provide travel itineraries for everyone with your choice of travel type. It could be budget friendly and comfortable. Your travel choice could also be elegant with a luxury experience. Groups, families or solo adventures are very popular choices. Just let me know, I am delighted to design it!

I have an International specialty of London and Wales. I have traveled there 7 times and also have family spread throughout the region.  While those destinations are nothing short of magical, I'm also a go-to for domestic US, North America and South America travel, cruise or rail, and a lot more. I'm an avid motorsports fan, amateur genealogist and have a huge love for history. Cruises are a favorite and I'm always in search of a mountain or beach! If I'm not at my desk or out networking, I can usually be found in a museum, out for a dining experience or on a road trip to something new!

I continue to believe that every journey has the potential to become unforgettable!

Florida - Daytona Beach

Welcome to Daytona Beach!

Florida - Daytona Beach

<p>Welcome to Daytona Beach! A vibrant Florida gem that combines the best of seaside fun and a vibrant cultural scene. Whether you're a sun worshipper, a thrill-seeker, NASCAR nut or a foodie on the hunt for the ultimate seafood platter, I'm here to lead you through the wonders of this iconic coastal paradise!</p>
<p>Daytona Beach is a magical blend of relaxation and spirited fun, catering to all types of travelers. Whether you're lounging on the beach's warm sands, diving into history, or catching breathtaking views from a Ferris wheel, this place truly embodies the spirit of adventure. Embrace the local culture and savor the excitement—after all, Daytona Beach is more than just a beach; it's a full-fledged experience waiting to be discovered!</p>
<p>Daytona Beach's boardwalk and amusement area are perfect for tapping into your inner child. With its charmingly nostalgic vibe, you can spend hours losing yourself in classic arcade games and enjoying amusement rides that offer sweeping ocean views.</p>
<p>Daytona Beach itself is iconic for a reason. Not only does it offer wide, sandy views perfect for sunbathing, but it's also steeped in history thanks to its famous auto racing past. You might already know that cars once zipped down the hard-packed sand beach in the earliest car races. If you're a gearhead or a history buff, you'll love the nearby Auto Racing Beach History Museum, which offers a fascinating look into how the beach played a critical role in the birth of speed sports.</p>
<p>Now, for those of us who geek out on history, including the history of auto racing, I highly recommend taking a tour of the Daytona International Speedway, it's an incredible up-close experience of the track that hosts some of the most famous races in NASCAR history.</p>
<p>Ormand Beach and Ponce Inlet are also nearby and offer exciting experiences!</p>
<p>Daytona's cuisine is heavily influenced by its seaside location, meaning you'll find fresh seafood and coastal flavors at practically every turn. One of my favorite things about the culinary scene here is how it captures both the laid-back beach vibes and the bustling cultural heartbeat of Daytona.</p>
<p>As you explore the diverse and delicious offerings, my biggest tip is to keep your eyes open and try every little spot that catches your fancy. You never know where you'll stumble upon that dish that'll take your Daytona Beach experience to the next level.</p>
<p>Planning your perfect escape to Daytona Beach can be so easy, and I'm here to be your trusted guide every step of the way. Let's make your next vacation one to remember!</p>
