Hey! I’m Shannon,

I’m a Travel Creator with an unstoppable passion for travel (and a deep appreciation for a perfectly planned itinerary). For over 8 years, I’ve worked in the travel industry and I’ve learned how to craft trips that are seamless, unforgettable, and full of hidden gems.

Asia, in particular, has truly stolen my heart, especially Japan, China, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. I’ve returned to some of these destinations more than 10 times (at this point, I’m practically a local!), and each visit only deepens my knowledge and love for the region.

I’m also the creator of The Savvy Tourist, a travel blog dedicated to helping you travel smarter, further, and more affordably. To me, a savvy tourist is a smart DIY traveler who knows how to experience luxury without overspending, armed with travel hacks and a knack for finding the most unique experiences.

Here on Rexby, you’ll find my curated Asia guides, itineraries, and maps, carefully designed so you can explore with confidence and make the most of every moment.
