My Story

Writer, professional jetsetter (I'm a flight attendant!) and dance floor/music festival enthusiast. Primarily NYC-based, but frequently hanging out on the West Coast.

Travel Style

I love a healthy balance when I travel — mixing the perfect amount of adventure with relaxation, partying with wellness, sightseeing must-sees with off-the-beaten-path discoveries. I want to see all the top spots while also diving deep into the local experience and exploring a destination through residents' eyes. I have ample experience as a solo traveler, but am also the go-to person among my friends to plan group trips. I'm also a firm believer that where you stay can make a huge impact on your travel experience. I deeply value the unique experiences and amenities that great hospitality can provide.

Seemless with Shelley! She sent us an excellent full itinerary on an app, and had the staff prepare a special treat for the room. The hotel staff commented that her third-party booking was the best they had worked with because she provided contact information for us (the guest) so they could send us key codes a few hours before check-in, advise us about parking, and make us feel very welcome.

Shelley always finds the best vacation spots, hotels, and experiences. We have lived in Japan and speak some Japanese, but I could never have found the special places she identifies for us on my own (I tried!). I can always trust Shelley to do the hard work of planning a tour that fits our needs and wishes, which she does with enthusiasm. She worked with me to plan the idyllic ryokan experience in Hakone, and found a more budget hotel in Kyoto that was comfortable and perfectly located in the Nishiki Market area.

Shelley always knocks it out of the park with recommendations! I felt that I had ample hotel choice when it came to destination and optionality within my budget. Her knowledge of Philadelphia landed us in the "it" part of town, which made getting around super easy and walkable. Always love the Travefy itineraries too. This was a quick and simple trip but great to know she's a helpful partner for even a small weekend getaway. Thank you Shelley!

Shelley was great! I asked a bunch of questions and she answered all of them with patience.

Shelley is always responsive with inquiries, gives multiple options and works to make sure you get what you are after. She is attentive to detail, and will always ask for information about your travel that she may not have arranged, just to help you keep all your travel details in one convenient spot. We have booked before using Shelley, and look forward to working with her again in the future.
