I have a confession to make: I am a travel addict. Consequentially, I have set foot on every continent, minus Antarctica, but I am working on a trip there as well. I enjoy adventure travel and have journeyed to places such as the Amazon, Borneo, Machu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands, the Outback, the jungles of Belize, Costa Rica, South Africa, Morocco, Tanzania, and Kenya. Additionally, I love India and find the culture fascinating. 

I am a beach lover and have been a scuba diver for 35 years. Some of my favorite diving destinations include the Red Sea in Egypt, Belize, the Caribbean Islands, and Mayan Riviera.

My addiction started roughly 40 years ago when I went on my first cruise. After that, I knew that I wanted to become a travel agent. My longtime partner Anita and I decided to go to travel school. Upon completion, we proceeded to hire our teacher and open our own agency. Thus began Shelby Travel Agency, which has provided exceptional travel services to clients for the past 40 years.
