Shannon Kircher
As a child, I always dreamt of far-flung destinations and experiences: delving into safari life in East Africa, seeing the Egyptian pyramids, living in London, diving in the Caribbean. When I was able to make those travel dreams a reality, I set off and haven't stopped moving since. Those experiences I dreamt about as a child? I've brought most of them to life, and have never taken my travels for granted. They've given me perspective, have shaped my views of the world, and have made me who I am today.
My journey started as a graduate student at the London School of Economics, my first time living abroad and embracing a jet set mentality while calling Europe home. I began a part-time career as a travel blogger that's since taken me around the globe to 80+ destinations over 6 continents over the past 15 years, with many of my favorite places on repeat.
Since 2013, I've been able to continue my career in the travel space as a hotelier at Frangipani Beach Resort on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, where I've been based for nearly a decade hyper focused on the hotel industry, learning the ins and outs of what makes a stay and a destination extraordinary. I've connected with hotel managers and owners around the world and have made those extra special connections that help with providing insider knowledge and confidence when booking independent boutique properties.
My passion is crafting unique experiences - just as I would with my personal travels - by designing thoughtful itineraries, choosing the best hotels to fit your needs and personality, plus curating the most unique tours and experiences to make your getaway extra memorable.
My expertise is in luxury, boutique and experiential travel. I love sharing the places and experiences that I'm most passionate about: safaris in East Africa, island hopping in Greece, food and wine tours through the Mediterranean, journeying through South Africa, cultural immersion in Southeast Asia, island exploration in the Caribbean, and perspective-enhancing visits to places like Jerusalem.
I'm also an accidental wine enthusiast, currently finishing up my WSET Level 3. I fell in love with wine through travel, resonating with the tradition and heritage surrounding winemaking around the world. I love creating itineraries focused on these regions, including up-and-coming areas where family-owned and operated wineries are still the heart and soul of the experience.
