Travel style

I am a shameless travel content creator with a B.A. in Geography and Tourism. In my younger years, I backpacked in Europe, South America and Central America as a solo female traveler. When I am not traveling with my now 11 year old son and significant other, I spend my free time strategizing the best way to rack up airline miles. Next stop, Japan!

I had the pleasure of working with Sheila as my Travel Advisor for our Tokyo trip, and I can’t recommend her enough. Her planning skills are truly exceptional! The accommodations, including HOP INN Tokyo Asakusa, were spot-on and enhanced my overall experience. Sheila’s expertise and knowledge of the destination really shone through, making the trip planning process smooth and stress-free. It’s clear she is passionate about multi destination travel. If you’re looking for someone who can plan an unforgettable trip, she is the person to go to!

Sheila was excellent at booking our cruise. We were very happy with her attention to details. The veranda she selected was in a perfect location to dining and the casino. She did a wonderful job at arranging our cruise. I have booked another one with her in March.

Hotel Gracery Shinjuku was the perfect start to our Family Japan Adventure! The highlight was undoubtedly the Godzilla-themes, which added a unique and fun element to our stay. Thanks to Sheila Hayes and SheMamaMaps Family Travel Planning, our stay at Hotel Gracery Shinjuku was memorable and hassle-free. Sheila’s meticulous planning ensured that every aspect of our trip was perfect, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the Tokyo experience. Our heartfelt thanks to Sheila for making our Tokyo trip unforgettable!
