Hi I'm Sheila Smith. I am a passionate and dedicated Travel Advisor with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry. My love for travel and desire to help others create unforgettable experiences led me to pursue a career as a travel advisor. With my expert guidance, I have helped numerous clients navigate the vast world of travel and discover their dream destinations. I create customized itineraries tailored just for you, making every adventure unforgettable. Say goodbye to generic travel plans and hello to personalized experiences! I am a Travel Advisor with a passion for travel, adventure, and once in a life time memories.

I am also an Early Childhood Professional, mother of 3, and wife to an amazing man for 27 years. As a family we have traveled extensively. Whether it is mountains, beaches, farms, theme parks, cities, or wide-open plains, we have enjoyed it all. I live in Michigan, so I like all seasons and what they have to offer to travelers. I have planned trips in a tent, camper, hotel, suites, Cruises, and on trains. Each has its finer points.

One of my favorite family vacations to plan is to Florida. There is so much for people of all ages to do. I found I get great satisfaction when I find the few things that are really important to each person traveling. That way everyone has their special memory.

With encouragement from family and friends I started Believe You Can...Travel. It is a way for me to love what I do and help others too. I am certified in Norwegian, Carnival, Virgin, Viking, Royal Caribbean, and American River Cruises. I am also a Certified Specialist with  Disney, Sandals and Beaches Resort, and a  Universal Resort Certified Specialist. I work with an amazing group of agents that share knowledge and ideas. I am a member of Cruise Lines International Association and a Travel Leaders Affiliate.

My dedication to my clients is unparalleled. I understand that travel planning can be overwhelming and time-consuming, which is why I go above and beyond to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. From handling all the research and bookings, to managing logistics and ensuring a seamless travel experience, I take care of every detail the client wants me to, allowing my clients to focus on enjoying their vacation. For my "Planner" clients, the ones who like to plan things, I am more an advocate, guide, and second pair of eyes. We bounce ideas around and come up with a great Itinerary together. I am here for my clients from the first time we talk until after they get home. 

I am open to any travel for Families, Couples, Silver Adventurers, Singles, and Special needs travelers. If you can dream it, I can help you make it a reality. But there are a few I have more experience and passion for.

When it comes to a romantic couples get away, I believe it's all about creating unforgettable moments together. Whether it's a cozy cabin retreat in the mountains or a dreamy beachside escape, the perfect couples trip should offer a blend of relaxation, intimacy, and opportunities for shared experiences. It's about creating memories that will make your hearts flutter for years to come.

When it comes to cruises, there are a few things I look for, for my clients. I want a cruise that offers a variety of destinations, provides a range of on-board activities and entertainment options, delicious dining options, and exceptional service is key. I want a cruise that goes above and beyond to make you feel pampered and taken care of.

When it comes to theme parks, I'm all about the thrill and excitement! I love a park that has a wide variety of exhilarating rides and attractions. Whether it's roller coasters, water slides, or virtual reality experiences, I want to feel that adrenaline rush. Of course, a theme park wouldn't be complete without delicious food and snacks. I enjoy indulging in all the tasty treats.  And let's not forget about the entertainment! I want to be entertained with captivating shows, parades, and maybe even some fireworks to end the day with a bang.I look for a theme park that provides non-stop fun and unforgettable memories! As your Travel Advisor, I will find what you want.

For my Special needs clients, I am well versed in Disabilities. I have worked with medical needs, dietary needs including Gluten Free, Sensory needs, and Children with Special Needs. My own children have varying Special Needs and finding a vacation that fits us all can be a challenge. It takes hours of research and planning to find a destination that is right for a Special Needs client.  Asking all the correct questions to be sure my clients will be safe, healthy, happy, and stress free. Helping other with finding their perfect vacation fit is what I do.
