To date, I have explored 80 countries and territories, fueled by my parents’ passion for travel. They prioritized investing in family vacations and escapes to exotic destinations. Whether embarking on cruises or taking short road trips, I eagerly anticipated each adventure.

Now, with 33 years of wanderlust behind me, travel remains a constant presence in my thoughts. Although I don’t pursue full-time travel, I balance my career with globetrotting, allowing me to save for the future and experience awe-inspiring journeys worldwide. ShawnVoyage serves as a personal space to document my adventures and offer guidance to fellow travelers.

“Traveling is the great true love of my life… I am loyal and constant in my love of travel. I feel about travel the way a happy new mother feels about her impossible, colicky, restless newborn baby – I just don’t care what it puts me through. Because I adore it. Because it’s mine. Because it looks exactly like me.” – Elizabeth Gilbert

In 2010, I spent an unforgettable six months living in France, studying at the University of Grenoble. This cherished period of my life left an indelible impression, and it’s likely the reason behind my fondness for discussing France. I adore French culture, exploring the country, and immersing myself in the language by reading, speaking, and writing. My passion for languages extends beyond French, as I eagerly anticipate the challenge of mastering new ones in the future.

My travel preferences vary depending on the destination. I find joy in exploring bustling cities, immersing myself in nature, embarking on hiking adventures, or simply relaxing on sun-kissed beaches. While I’ve had my share of airport slumbers and dingy hostel stays, I now prioritize quality experiences in my travels. My focus lies in guiding readers on how to travel luxuriously without breaking the bank. Moreover, I believe in looking stylish on my journeys, as it adds a touch of confidence and enhances my overall experience.
