Hi, I'm Elena!
Certified travel advisor and owner of Elena Shea Travel

I plan vacations and cruises for families, especially to Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe and Disney.


Outside of travel, I'm a mom of three, bonus mom of one, full time pediatrician, avid reader and chicken tender. So yes, I know exactly what it feels like to have a lot of balls in the air and still want to give your kids something amazing.


I became a travel advisor because I love to plan and I love to travel, and I needed something that gave my brain a break from the stresses of my day. Planning trips for other families turned out to be exactly that.

My Own Travel Story
Before kids and after

Before kids, I went on safari, saw Egypt, and lived in Rome, which meant a lot of weekends exploring Italy and the rest of the continent. Since kids, some of my favorite trips have been Disney, Cancun and Estes Park.


Next on my list? A safari with my kids, the Galapagos and the Maldives.

How I Plan
I listen first

My process involves a lot of listening. I want to know what your family loves, what they don't, and what a great vacation day looks like to each of you. Then I use my expertise to craft a trip that fits your family.


I want you to feel like you're traveling with a close friend who knows what you want and wants you to have the most amazing time.


I'm also in the process of becoming a travel coach, because I love bringing wellness into the way families travel.
