Hi. I’m Kayla.

Hey there, fellow wanderluster! I'm Kayla Shawley, your travel planning fairy godmother and the mastermind behind Keys to the Castle Travel by Kayla. If you're a millennial with a passion for adventure, fantastic food, and all-around good vibes, you've come to the right place. Whether you're dreaming of sipping margaritas in Cancun, unleashing your inner wizard at Universal Studios, or living your best life on a cruise through the Mediterranean on Virgin Voyages, I've got you covered.

Why choose me?

Well, I'm not your average travel agent. I'm proudly neurodivergent, fiercely inclusive, and always on the lookout for ways to make travel more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. No matter who you are, you'll find a safe space here at Keys to the Castle Travel. That is, as long as you’re not an asshole.

I’ve been in the travel industry since 2008, and I’ve been a travel advisor since 2017. I absolutely love getting to share my expertise with my clients, and I have learned a LOT over the last few decades. I can promise you that working with me means that you’re working with an expert. If I don’t know the answer to something, I have an amazing network of fellow advisors and suppliers that can help me find the answer!
