Can we keep it 💯?

A vision board without a strategy is just a collage.

And you’re too grown for “wishful thinking.”

I’ve spent years perfecting the art of solo travel.

I know how to navigate the safety concerns and the planning overwhelm that keeps you stuck.

During my Masterclass on Jan. 19 at 12PM, I’m showing you how to go from mood board to boarding pass.

I’m giving you the blueprint. If you want my eyes on your 2026 travel plans, you need to be in the room.

Let’s make 2026 the year you finally showed up for yourself. ✈️👑

Let me know if you wanna grab a seat to map out your 2026 travel plan.

I’ll never forget the first time our group arrived in Costa Rica. Lush green everywhere, the sound of waterfalls, and that deep exhale when everyone realized… “Oh, THIS is what I needed.”

That’s the magic of Moonglade — every trip is more than a getaway. It’s a chance to reset, reconnect, and rediscover yourself.

Catch the recap from our Awakening Soul Retreat. It had me looking up flights to Costa Rica.

💭 What’s YOUR most memorable travel moment?

09/17/2025

👀 Let’s talk mistakes…

3 big ones I see travelers make when booking luxury trips:

1️⃣ Skimping on the wrong things (flights/hotels over experience)
2️⃣ Overstuffing the itinerary — no time to actually breathe
3️⃣ Going it alone without insider connections

At Moonglade, we flip the script. Your trip is smooth, elevated, and filled with experiences you can’t Google.

Ready to travel smarter, not harder?

That’s where I come in. With nearly a decade of crafting luxury & wellness journeys, we design experiences that don’t just impress… they transform.

Just booked: Danita’s solo birthday trip to Aruba!

Because luxury travel isn’t only about groups — it’s about YOU.

She’ll be sipping cocktails, oceanfront at Secrets Baby Beach Aruba, celebrating HER.

This is your reminder that you don’t need a crew to deserve a getaway. Sometimes the best company is your own.

Where would you book your solo birthday trip?

Hey travel fam, it’s Shanell here — the brains (and heart 💕) behind Moonglade Travel.

If we haven’t met yet, welcome to my little corner of the world where luxury meets intention, and travel isn’t just about a passport stamp, it’s about transformation.

For almost a decade, I’ve been curating journeys that feel like soul care. From solo trips to celebrate YOU (shoutout to my birthday travelers), to curated group trips where strangers turn into lifelong friends (Vietnam & Thailand this summer — still not over it 😍), I design experiences that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked your bags.

Right now, I’m in creation mode, putting the finishing touches on our next big adventures: Morocco, Bali, and more. And I want YOU to be part of it.

Let's chat if you’re ready to:
✨ Work with me 1:1 to craft your dream trip, OR
✨ Join one of our upcoming curated group journeys…

Your seat at the table (or on the plane) is waiting and I'm here to help you get there.

💭 Tell me: where’s your heart pulling you next? Drop it in the comments.

“Vietnam didn’t just welcome me… it whispered to me.” — Mystie

When Mystie shared those words after returning from our curated journey through Southeast Asia, it stopped me in my tracks. Because that’s exactly what transformational travel does. It meets you where you are and gently invites you deeper into yourself.

From sunrise tai chi in Hanoi to quiet moments inside golden temples, Mystie discovered that peace isn’t something you chase, it’s something you allow.

Her guest blog and podcast episode are live now, and they beautifully capture how this experience shifted her perspective in ways she didn’t expect.

We’ve been quiet, but don’t mistake silence for stillness. Moonglade has been cooking up soulful adventures and unforgettable getaways. Think luxury with a heartbeat, culture with depth, and travel that feels like therapy (with better views).

This summer we hosted an incredible group in Vietnam & Thailand (still not over it 😭), and now… we’re officially gearing up for our 2026 curated trips.

💭 Tell me: If you could book a trip right now, where would your heart take you?

“She remembered who she was and the game changed.” – Lalah Delia ✨

Travel isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about rediscovering yourself along the way. As a women-owned travel company, we design experiences that uplift, inspire, and connect like-minded women through transformational journeys.

This , we celebrate the power of women who explore boldly, dream fearlessly, and embrace every adventure that leads to growth, renewal, and pure joy. 💫
