I've been in the travel industry my entire life. My father worked in the airline industry, and that gave me the advantage of living in 3 different countries and experiencing much of the world as a child.

​

Those early years became a lifelong love of travel. As an adult I kept exploring, and I began my own career in the airline industry. In 2019 I opened Travel With Shawn Hayes to share the world with others. Today I live and work in Indianapolis and help travelers locally and across the country.

​

My specialties grew out of my own journeys, and Europe is my heart: the villages and vineyards of Italy, the cafés and gardens of Paris and Provence, and the storybook rivers that wind through Central Europe. Beyond Europe, I plan safaris, all-inclusive escapes and ocean voyages with the same care.

​

To me, luxury isn't only five-star hotels or first-class cabins. It's traveling with confidence, discovering authentic experiences, and knowing every detail has been handled on your behalf.
