Former female solo traveler turned family travel advisor. Excited to share my boots on the ground travel experience to help you plan your next travel adventure.
Travel style
I am a shameless travel content creator with a B.A. in Geography and Tourism. In my younger years, I backpacked in Europe, South America and Central America as a solo female traveler. When I am not traveling with my now 12 year old son and significant other, I spend my free time strategizing the best way to rack up airline miles. Our recent adventures include Japan and Panama! Next stop, Guatemala!

Sheila's reviews
If you’re planning a trip to Central America and want it to be nothing short of amazing, do yourself a favor and book with Sheila Hayes! From the moment we began working with her, it was clear we were in the hands of a true travel expert. Sheila doesn’t just plan trips, she crafts unforgettable experiences. She booked us at Hotel Casa Panama, and it was the perfect choice! The hotel had all the vibes! It was centrally located in the heart of Casco Viejo, so it was walkable to all the history, shopping, and restaurants. From rooftop views to cultural vibes, it exceeded our expectations, and we owe that all to Sheila’s incredible insight. What sets Sheila apart is her deep knowledge of travel in Central America. She knew the ins and outs of Panama like a local—recommending everything from hidden rooftop bars to family-friendly excursions off the beaten path. You can tell she’s walked the streets, tasted the food, and experienced these places firsthand. Her recommendations felt personal, authentic, and tailored exactly to our travel style. Sheila is a true expert in niche family adventures. Whether you’re traveling with young kids, teens, or multi-generational groups, she knows how to balance adventure, comfort, and meaningful moments. Her genuine passion for travel made this one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Thank you, Sheila, for helping us travel smarter, stress-free, and with so much joy. We can’t wait to plan our next adventure with you! Highly recommend!
