Specializing in Cultural Immersion in....

Hello! I’m Shannon, a passionate traveler with a lifelong love for exploration. My journey began at a young age, thanks to my parents, who instilled in me a deep appreciation for travel. Together, we explored nearly every corner of the United States and ventured across Europe.Throughout my life, I've lived in eight different states and even spent time in Germany. My experience as an active-duty military member further fueled my love for discovering new places and embracing diverse cultures. Cultural immersion is very important to me; I attended a French immersion school in sixth grade and am fluent in Spanish, a skill I developed growing up in Texas and frequently visiting Mexico.I've enjoyed delightful cruises and explored many Caribbean islands, often returning to Costa Rica, a place I hold dear. My passion for nature drives my commitment to the environment, making ecotourism and sustainable travel central to my adventures.Currently, I'm on a journey through Central and South America, with exciting plans to also visit Morocco, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cuba. Recently, I had the pleasure of exploring the breathtaking Turks and Caicos Islands, as well as the Dominican Republic, and I’ve cherished my time in the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Grand Cayman.Travel is not just a hobby for me; it's a way of life that enriches my soul. I look forward to where my wanderlust will take me next!

We had the greatest time there. The view was beautiful from our room and the food was great at the restaurant there. We just stayed there and relaxed the whole time. I recommend to all my family.
