Clermont, Florida
I'm Shannon McEvoy, a Certified Accessible Travel Advisor and founder of Defying Limits Travel. I design custom premium vacations for families, couples, and groups who would rather plan once and trust the trip than verify every detail themselves, and have an advocate by their side to create an effortless travel experience. I have over 18 years of experience, with over a decade in five star luxury concierge work at Loews Hotels, Waldorf Astoria, JW Marriott, and Disney World and Universal Orlando properties. I have lived with non celiac gluten intolerance, and a dairy intolerance most of my life. On top of that, my own family includes accessibility and food allergy considerations, so I know the work from the inside. My credentials include IBCCES Autism Travel Professional, Certified Autism Specialist, SNG Accessible Travel Advocate, Luxury Travel Specialist, and a Bachelor's in Hospitality Management from University of Central Florida. To me, accessibility isn't a special request.
