  • Shalista made the whole process of going to Spain super easy. She asked all the right questions about where we wanted to go and locations we wanted to be near and she knocked it out of the park. I will definitely use her services again!

  • Shalista helped find the best travel company to work with for our trip to Ireland. I could not have asked for a better and more organized trip. We were able to see all the high points in Ireland and a few extras. She was also on the trip and provided assistance to me when we had airport troubles. I would definitely work with her again. She also took some amazing photos and let us keep those too.
