My Story
A global citizen who was the co-founder of Legends, now a Fora Travel Company. Currently the VP of Product for CRM, Data and Advisor Enablement at Fora, as well as Founder of Secret Voyage Concierge, my travel agency that is powered by Fora's technology. I believe exploring the world is one of the most important things we can do as humans to quickly realize that we are more similar than we are different and that travel is the greatest vessel to bring us back to our authentic selves. I have traveled the world to 500 cities and 45 countries across the US, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, and many others.
I consider myself a taste-maker for the friends and families that I book for. Working to deeply understand their needs and building the best experience possible.
My Travel Style
I prioritize the ambiance of a destination by seeking out places that offer unique and memorable experiences through their local atmosphere. My travel decisions are heavily influenced by opportunities to immerse myself in local culture, avoiding mainstream tourist spots in favor of more authentic and lesser-known locales. I aim for a balanced approach to travel, mixing luxury with affordability. I look for destinations and accommodations that provide a sense of exclusivity with an amazing experience. I've stayed in lodges in the middle of Alaska and some of the finest 5-star properties in the world. I'm always on the lookout for the best deals that don't compromise aesthetics and experience.

Shaina was amazing at interpreting our brief and nailed the exact type of place, the overall neighborhood vibe and accessibility we were looking for. She not only shared this hotel on the first go, she was able to upgrade our experience which made it even more special! Her taste is impeccable and we trust that we are in great hands with her. We'll definitely be collaborating with Shaina on future travel plans moving forward!
