Services
Everything Handled. Nothing Overlooked.
Shannon Hanes offers a fully bespoke travel planning service This starts with the first conversation and continues until the moment you return home. Every detail is considered, every contingency anticipated, and every experience designed to exceed expectation.
What It Means to Work With Shannon
Working with Shannon is not like booking a trip. It is a collaborative process that begins with understanding who you are as a traveler. What are your passions, your pace, your idea of the extraordinary. From there, Shannon designs an itinerary that is entirely your own: no templates, no off-the-shelf packages, no compromises. Just the world, curated for you.
Bespoke Itinerary Design
Your journey, built from scratch.
Every itinerary Shannon designs begins with a blank page. Through an in-depth consultation, she learns what you want to feel, see, and experience. Only then does she builds a journey around those answers. No two itineraries are alike. Every element, from the first hotel to the final transfer, is selected with intention.
What's Included
- In-depth discovery consultation (phone or video)
- Fully custom day-by-day itinerary online document and app
- Curated property recommendations with Shannon's personal notes
- Private guide and experience sourcing
- All bookings managed on your behalf

She spends time every year renewing and building new relationships.

How It Works
From First Conversation to Final Memory
01
The Consultation
Every journey begins with a conversation. Shannon takes the time to understand your travel history, your aspirations, and what you're hoping to feel. This is not a form — it is a genuine dialogue.
02
The Proposal
Within two weeks, Shannon presents a bespoke itinerary proposal — a detailed, day-by-day vision of your journey, with her personal notes on every property and experience.
03
The Refinement
The proposal is a starting point, not a final answer. Shannon works with you to refine every detail until the itinerary is exactly right — no matter how many revisions that takes.
04
The Journey
Shannon manages every booking, confirmation, and logistics detail. You travel with a comprehensive briefing document and the knowledge that she is available throughout.
A Note on Fees
Shannon charges a planning fee commensurate with the scope and complexity of each journey. This fee reflects the depth of research, the value of her network, and the time invested in designing something truly exceptional. Full details are discussed during the initial consultation.
