Meet Shannon, your travel curator
I believe in:
Transparent pricing. Insider access to experiences you won’t find online. Insight from locals who live in your destination. Exclusive hotel perks. Personalized journeys.
I don’t believe in:
Chasing commissions. Murky pricing. Cookie-cutter packages. Ticking boxes just to say you’ve been there.
That’s why I started Get Uncomfy. Travel has become too transactional when it should be inspiring, eye-opening, and a little uncomfy (in the best ways).
I draw on over a decade of organizing chaos in financial services, my own travel to 30+ countries, and a global network of partners to create your perfect trip.

From my travelers
What sets Get Uncomfy apart from others is the personalized touch.
Shannon helped plan my solo trips to Ireland and Japan. What sets Get Uncomfy apart is the personalized touch – I landed knowing exactly where to go, with a full adventure packet in hand. It couldn’t be easier.
Shannon did the legwork that I felt too overwhelmed to take on.
Planning our honeymoon in Bali felt overwhelming after the wedding. Shannon did the legwork, tailored the trip to our “uncomfy” level, and gave us a helpful document we could use throughout our travels. I can’t wait to plan our next adventure with her!
All the recommendations were spot on to our vibe.
Our trip was amazing – all the recommendations were spot on to our vibe. Off-the-beaten-path, but high quality food, hikes, and hot springs. The trip document was easy to use and the added history made it even more fun.
The suggestions were impeccable.
The service at Get Uncomfy really is at a personalized level. The suggestions of vineyards and restaurants in Sonoma were impeccable – I even became a quarterly wine member of one. The itinerary was interactive and served as a fun guide as we went about the weekend.
Shannon helped us score sold-out sumo tickets.
Shannon made our 10-day family trip to Japan seamless – from tailoring the itinerary to our family’s goals to pre-trip guidance that scored us sold-out sumo tickets. She even optimized routes to save us time and money.
It was stress-free from start to finish.
I used Get Uncomfy for a last-minute birthday trip, and it was stress-free from start to finish. Shannon was incredibly responsive – handling every question and change within minutes. Truly the best travel planning service I’ve ever used.
I know we'll be using Get Uncomfy for our next vacation!
Shannon helped us plan our best European vacation ever – Milan, Lake Como, and Lugano. Her attention to detail made everything easy and stress-free, from landing in Milan to where to eat. We’ll definitely use Get Uncomfy again for our next trip!

Featured: Jes from Kumarakom, India
Nestled near the ocean, my village instilled in me a profound love for fish and bustling markets. My journey led me from the shores of my hometown to the diverse cuisines of Europe during my engineering studies. While my technical background afforded me the chance to live abroad and pursue a master’s in electronics, my true calling emerged: the culinary arts.
After 5.5 years of European life, I returned home, and destiny introduced me to a friend’s friend. Today, we proudly run a homestay, cooking experience, and tour operator in Kumarakom, a picturesque village embraced by backwaters. Our philosophy is rooted in sustainability, ensuring that every program we conduct benefits the community.
