Caribbean, Cruises, All Inclusives, and Local!
My wife and I have been married for 17 years and some of our favorite places that we have traveled to are Las Vegas, Orlando, Denver, Anna Maria Island, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Hawai'i and Punta Cana. I started my career working in the cell phone industry then found myself owning a social publication, and also am a certified storm spotter. I am the guy standing on the patio watching the storm after I send my family to the basement to shelter in place! When we got married, we decided that we would make memories together traveling in lieu of giving gifts to each other for birthdays, anniversaries and holidays and we continued that same tradition when our daughter was born.
I love everything about traveling. I love meeting new people, seeing new places, and experiencing new things. We don't travel unless we can find a deal because we work hard and play hard. I have spent several years finding deals for family and friends and would love to find the perfect destination, itinerary, and take care of all the details for the perfect vacation for you!
My Areas of Expertise
Best Disney World Trip!
Reviewed By Carly E. - Maple Grove, MN | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
Travel 2 The Core was so great in helping us plan our recent Disney getaway! Not only did we speak at length on the phone, Travel 2 The Core provided us with a PDF document of “Disney World Tips & Tricks” which was beyond helpful. We appreciated the tips and tricks were the suggestions on where to spend our money and where NOT to spend our money! We were provided with great tips for which rides to go to first, how to maximize our time, where to eat, how best to use Genie +, etc. We especially appreciated hearing advice from someone who has traveled there personally and how to enhance our day (ie: what to bring with us, how to access transportation, snacks, etc). Travel 2 The Core even provided us with advice of where to park at the MSP airport since our flight times made it challenging to get a ride.

Shawn was amazing to work with in planning my trip to Mexico! He was knowledgeable and extremely quick to reply to me. I had soooo many questions and questioned things at times and he was able to talk me "off the ledge". I would highly recommend Shawn and Travel 2 the Core to plan your vacation.

Wonderful Bentleyville Trip
Reviewed By Madi C. - Andover, MN | Traveled to Duluth ~ Minnesota ~ USA
Shortly before Christmas Shawn booked our trip to Duluth to go to Bentleyville. The room he booked for us was great. We requested a hotel close enough to walk to Bentleyville and he came through. Our room view was fantastic, we could see all of Bentleyville from our window which totally delighted my granddaughter. Shawn was so easy to work with and fulfilled all our wishes. We will definitely utilize his travel service again. Thanks Shawn for making our trip one to remember.

Quick response and great deals on hotels!
Reviewed By Kathy Q. - South Haven, MN | Traveled to Minnesota ~ USA
In the last couple months I needed to book 3 different hotels for special occasions. Shawn was able to help me get great deals on all the hotel rooms, better than what I could get on my own. He got back to me with my reservations within a few hours of contacting him. Thanks Shawn and Travel to the Core!
