Welcome to Landlocked Travel!

About me

Hi everyone! I’m Shelly and I’m passionate about travel! I can’t wait to help you plan your next vacation!

From an early age, I fell in love with travel, when my parents took us on camping trips, then on a cross border road trip to California and into Mexico. A few years later, I was fortunate enough to go to Florida for a relative’s wedding, with lots of sight seeing thrown in, and then to Mazatlan, Mexico in Grade 12.

When I started traveling as an adult, I spend hours planning every detail! I would type up itineraries for every trip, with dates and times of tours we had booked, restaurants and stores that were in walking distance from the hotel we were staying at, printed out maps with routes I created on Google Maps… you name it, I had it planned! One time when crossing a land border from Canada to the US, the border agent had quite a chuckle at me when I handed her my documents. “You’re quite the planner, aren’t you??!” she said. 😂

In the spring of 2017, I did a quiz about what types of things I enjoy doing, and a lightbulb went off. TRAVEL is my calling!! I started my travel business in May of 2017, and have been doing it part-time for over 6 years now (I also work full time as an Office Manager in the Ag Tech sector).

I specialize in Cruise Vacations and Sun Destinations. I personally have been to and booked many resorts for clients in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Cuba. I personally have cruised on Norwegian Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages and MSC Cruises. I have upcoming sailings booked on Norwegian and Celebrity Cruises. For my clients, I have booked Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival Cruise Lines.

Where do you want to go next?
