About Shantik
Hi, I’m Shantik and I live in Fort Worth, TX. I am a wife, boy mom, a licensed professional counselor, travel enthusiast and Disney fanatic! I was born in New Jersey, but raised in Houston, TX. I am first generation American and spent several years of my childhood living in Belize, where my mother is from. My love for travel began when I was a baby and I earned my first set of airplane wings at 2-weeks old. My grandmother worked for Continental Airlines and she made it a point to make sure we travelled…often! She instilled in me the value of seeing the world, learning through experiences and appreciating the beauty of all destinations. As a wife, mom and professional, life can often times be a chaotic, but beautiful mess. My favorite self care strategy is traveling. I value making time to not only travel with my husband but to also travel with our kids. They are both under 3 but I want to instill in them the same values my grandmother instilled in me. I love seeing their faces when they experience something new for the first time. My husband and I prioritize several types of trips each year, a minimum of 1 solo trip with just him and I, 2 family trips, one including extended family, and 1 trip independent of each other with our friends! That is our way sharing travel and life experiences with the people that we care about while also taking care of ourselves. Life may be chaotic, but traveling is one thing I will never put aside. That passion has led me here, planning vacations and new travel experiences for others. I am newer to the travel agent industry, but I am one of the most dedicated people you will ever met. I love learning through immersion and enjoy learning and researching to help make my clients lives easier. I love sharing tips and tricks on how to travel with littles, especially to Disney, and I love doing everything in my power to help my clients create magical memories.
Walt Disney World, of course. I still remember the first time I walked into Magic Kingdom as a child, feeling like I was a part of the Disney movies. I feel a sense of nostalgia every time I even think about Disney. To me, Disney represents creativity and happiness by fostering our imagination and by pulling at our heart strings through story telling. My second favorite place to travel is to a beach. My favorite phrase is: “I want to be on somebody’s beach”. I enjoy basking in the sun and listening to the unique sound of the waves crashing on the shoreline with the wind as its background soundtrack. I love swimming in the ocean, feeling one with nature and being in awe of how great and beautiful it is. I love all things tropical vibes, but especially the “go slow” mindset. Being on a beach reminds me to take a step back from the chaos and to be grateful for life! The best thing you've ever eaten on vacation: The best thing I have ever eaten on vacation is honestly a tropical smoothie on a beach. I know it sounds simple, but the natural flavors of fruit colliding together in a cool smoothie is refreshing!
However, I am a foodie. So when traveling one of my favorite things to do is trying new foods from new countries and cultures! Your Favorite part about being a Travel Planner: My favorite part of being a professional travel planner is getting to know my clients and helping them write magical stories through travel. Planning a vacation can be extremely overwhelming for some and that is why agents, like myself are so helpful. We take on all the pieces A-Z so all you have to do is express what you’re looking for, sit back, relax and show up! I love hearing about my clients travels and seeing pictures. Knowing that I was a small part of the magic, makes me glow with pride! Call 855-939-4328 ext 3965.
