Shawna Valenta
Agent
NEW YORK | I’m a wife, mom of 4 (ages 2-6) and recently left life as a pharmacist to spend more time at home. I LOVE to travel, but it’s probably safe to say that I love the planning and hunt for great deals even more! My husband has his private pilot’s license, but we can only travel so much so it was a no-brainer for me to start helping others plan vacations and create memories they’ll never forget!! My obsessions are cruising, Disney and all-inclusives, as they each have different elements my family and I love, but we’ve been many places (before and after kiddos) and I’m always up for the challenge of exploring and researching new places!

Shandra Metcalfe
Agent
CALIFORNIA | I have always LOVED to travel! There is just something about bright turquoise water that moves my soul!! After years of helping plan my family's and friends' trips, as well as my own personal vacations, I finally followed my calling and became a travel advisor in early 2022. I experience so much joy in helping my clients check those bucketlist destinations off their lists! I have extensive knowledge in Caribbean destinations and All Inclusive resort options. I visit the Caribbean multiple times a year to gather first hand knowledge to bring home to my clients. With this knowledge I have successfully helped book hundreds of clients into the resort that fits their wants, needs, lifestyle and budget for a truly personalized experience. Being based on the West Coast has also allowed me to travel to many of the Hawaiian Islands and have become truly knowledgeable in regards to what each island has to offer.
I would be thrilled to connect with you and chat about your vision for your next unforgettable experience!
