Hey there, I’m Shawn.

Your travel advisor. Vacation enthusiast. Professional Memory Maker.

I’m the face behind The Stoked Traveler—your go-to travel advisor, beach lover, + vacation enthusiast with a passion for helping people see the world and make memories that last a lifetime.

For me, travel is so much more than visiting new places. It’s about the unforgettable experiences, the little moments, and the memories you’ll talk about for years to come. I believe everyone deserves a vacation that feels like their kind of paradise, and I love turning those travel dreams into thoughtfully planned getaways tailored just for you.

Whether you’re dreaming of a sun-soaked beach escape, an all-inclusive resort, a cruise, a quick weekend getaway, an international adventure, or a luxurious vacation home, I’m here to help make it happen. From the first idea to the final details, I’ll help you find the right getaway for your travel style, your wish list, and your budget—all at no additional cost to you!

When I’m not busy planning dream vacations, you’ll find me embracing the laid-back, small-town lake life in Indiana with my husband, Caleb, and our big, furry crew—two dogs and two cats. And if there’s a beautiful beach involved? You can bet I’m already dreaming about it!

So, whether you’re ready to book your next adventure or just starting to picture yourself somewhere sunny, I’d love to help you get there. You bring the dream, and I’ll help with the planning.

Let’s find your happy place.

Make some incredible memories, and get stoked for your next adventure!
