Europe, families, and dream vacations

Travel has been a part of my life since the trip I took in high school to Germany that changed the course of who I am. As a high school German teacher I led 27 trips with over 1,000 students and parents to Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. I have traveled extensively to destinations from the northern villages of Norway to the islands of New Zealand. What makes me stand out from other agents is that I bring 37 years of experience in travel, language studies, and education together. My love for travel goes beyond my own trips-I want everyone to have their dream trip. If you are interested in a food tour through Italy or a beach getaway with girls, I can make that happen. I put my heart and soul into every trip I plan and make sure that you have the time of your life and a suitcase full of memories. I am organized, detail oriented, and passionate about providing the best service to every person I work with.

Europe has been in my heart since my first trip there in high school with my German teacher. I fell in love with the language, culture, and travel in general. After that trip I went on to study and teacher German and picked up French, Swedish, and Italian just for the love of language. I have pla...

I have had the opportunity to travel a couple of times to Costa Rica and have booked trips there for clients, too. It was an incredible place to visit-so much wildlife and wonderful food. One of the highlights was going to Manuel Antonio National Park and seeing the sloths and monkeys close up. I...

My first trip to Venice was many years ago and I remember looking back at my pictures and thinking "Did I actually take this picture? Was I really there?". I fell in love with the language, the buildings, the food, and the way the Italians embrace life. Since then I have returned a half dozen tim...

    10 day Switzerland Snowboard Trip
    Reviewed By pugfamily - Red Wing, MN | Traveled to Switzerland ~ Europe
    Shelley was the BEST! She planned a 10-day snowboarding trip for me and my son to Switzerland. We just got back at the end of January. Everyplace we stayed was perfect. We broke the trip up into different cities and each one was just what we were hoping for! She was so easy to work with and was able to give up the trip of a lifetime. We met with her and she took care of the rest, and even gave us a thank you bag! She also checked in with us to see how the trip went and was ALWAYS available when I had any questions. We will definitely be using her again!!
    Shelley Orr responded
    "Thank you so much! It was so much fun to plan that trip for you-I love Switzerland and it was so cool to share my knowledge with you."
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    AMAZING Family Vacation!
    Reviewed By Theresa W - Watertown MN | Traveled to Munich ~ Germany ~ Europe
    Shelly was AMAZING to work with!! She was very excited to help us plan our trip to Germany! She helped save us money on both hotel and flights using our frequent flyer miles as well as having our hotel close, but not too close, to city center and within walking distance. She gave us so many ideas of things to see while in the area and recommending the best ways to get around in Munich. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone traveling to Germany, she knows the area very well!! She was always available to me, even while she was traveling cross county in the US as well as traveling in Germany herself! Shelly likes to travel and it shows!!

    A wonderful trip
    Reviewed By Rebecca - Miesville, MN | Traveled to Boston ~ Massachusetts ~ USA
    We scheduled a trip with Shelley last summer, and then could not take it due to covid. So we "revived" the trip, and came back last Friday. She made it so easy, complete with links to activities and even getting a map of Boston.
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
