My Story

I'm a Dallas-based travel advisor who believes the best memories are made around dinner tables, hidden alleyways, and unforgettable sunsets. What started as a passion for backpacking the world solo has grown into helping families experience it together. I specialize in European travel, especially Italy, Spain, and Greece, creating stress-free itineraries that let my clients enjoy the journey just as much as the destination. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, multigenerational vacation, or your family's first trip abroad, I'm here to make every journey effortless and unforgettable.

Travel Style

Splurge & Save Traveler. Adventure Seeker. Food Lover.

Former solo hostel backpacker turned unique boutique adventurer with my family. I like to sprinkle my trips with a mix of splurge and save aspects that match my clients' needs. Being close to any type of water and mountains brings my soul to life. Every trip I take consists of activities, me time, local beverages and food, and unique places to stay.

From group travel for weddings, birthdays, or companies to family and couples, I enjoy creating transformative moments of connection with one another and the destination.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Taylor Shapard at FORA Travel! Planning a multi-country European vacation can feel overwhelming, but Taylor made the entire process incredibly easy and enjoyable from start to finish.

She took the time to truly understand what our family wanted—from iconic sightseeing and memorable dining experiences to balancing busy days with time to simply enjoy each destination. Every recommendation felt thoughtfully curated just for us. Our hotels were in fantastic locations, making it easy to explore on foot, and our transportation between cities and countries was flawlessly coordinated.

Throughout our trip to Paris and Italy, everything flowed seamlessly. We never had to stress about the details because Taylor had already thought of them. From restaurant recommendations and sightseeing suggestions to practical travel tips that made navigating unfamiliar cities so much easier, she anticipated needs we didn’t even know we’d have.

What impressed us most was her communication. She was responsive, organized, incredibly knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions before and during the trip. We truly felt like we had someone in our corner every step of the way.

Because of Taylor’s expertise, we were able to focus on making unforgettable memories instead of worrying about logistics. Our family experienced an amazing mix of famous landmarks, hidden gems, incredible food, and unique experiences that we’ll cherish forever.

If you’re looking for a travel advisor who is professional, attentive, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about creating exceptional vacations, look no further than Taylor Shapard with FORA Travel. She exceeded every expectation, and we will absolutely trust her with all of our future travels. Thank you, Taylor, for helping make our dream European vacation everything we hoped it would be and more!

We went to places we had never been and were blown away by the picturesque sites and experiences. Not sure which of the tours was the best because all were grand!

Taylor showed just how well traveled she is. The excursions she booked for us were first class as well as the hotel reservations at the beginning and end of our trip. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and both the hotels and Explora made us feel very special.

The guide she found for us going to the monastery in Montserrat was fantastic and exceeded our expectations. She gave us so many good ideas for sights to see in each port that helped us really enjoy each stop to the fullest. Our last experience was participating in a cooking class in Athens on the top of a hotel providing not only a great experience but also a view of the Acropolis that we so enjoyed on our tour earlier in the day.
