My Story

Hello! I’m your secret weapon for traveling better for less. After years mastering the art of points and miles working in corporate America, I now help families and adventurous travelers unlock incredible trips without breaking the bank. What started as a personal passion—stretching every dollar to explore the world with my husband and two young kids—has become my specialty.

When I travel, I’m always on the lookout for: off-the-beaten-path gems, scenic bike routes, delicious local cuisine, and beautiful nature. In the past year, my family has explored Aruba, Lisbon, Tokyo, Washington DC, Big Sur, Zion National Park, Horseshoe Bend, Cabo San Lucas, Verdon Gorge, Marseille, The Hague, Dublin, Albuquerque, and Mérida, all while maximizing points and miles and on a budget. I’d love to chat with you about your travel plans. Masha danki! Guess the language and which island I learned that from ;)

Travel Style

When I travel, I’m always on the lookout for: off-the-beaten-path gems, scenic bike routes, delicious local cuisine, and beautiful nature.

I also value:

~ Utilizing miles and points when it makes sense

~ Immersing in the local experience as much as possible while respecting local cultures and making an effort to learn a few words of the local language

~ Vacation time can be so fleeting! I take pride in maximizing time, value, and creating efficient itineraries.

~ Tasting local delicacies and the best bites of the region is a must

~ Experiencing local modes of transport, whether its by metro, bike, bus, boat, or by foot for authentic experiences

Shirley is a dream travel agent. She is thoughtful, resourceful, communicative and knows what it's like to travel with young kids. She found us great deals which saved us money! She really knows the ins and outs of travel on every level - hotels, flights, car rentals, etc. I can't recommend Shirley highly enough!
