Meet Shannon Sellers

Founder of Coastal & Main Travel Co.

Travel has always meant more to me than simply visiting somewhere new. It's about the experiences that bring us closer together, the moments that become lifelong memories, and the way discovering a new place can change how we see the world. That belief has shaped not only the way I travel, but also the way I approach my work.

With more than eight years of experience in the travel industry, I've learned that the best trips aren't necessarily the ones with the most activities or the fanciest accommodations. They're the ones that feel right for the people taking them. The ones where the details come together seamlessly, the unexpected becomes a highlight, and travelers can be fully present instead of worrying about what comes next.

That philosophy is what inspired me to build Coastal & Main Travel Company: a business rooted in personal connections, thoughtful planning, and the belief that every traveler deserves more than a one-size-fits-all experience. I want to think beyond the obvious, uncover possibilities my clients may not have considered, and create journeys that feel every bit as special as the reason behind them. Just as importantly, I believe this industry grows stronger when we build genuine partnerships, challenge ourselves to think differently, and remain open to new ideas. I'm passionate about fostering those relationships, embracing innovation, and helping move the travel industry forward.

Outside of travel, my family is at the heart of everything I do. My husband and I have been together for more than 20 years, and as we look toward our next chapter, we're excited for more opportunities to explore the world together. Our two children are finding their own paths—one building a career in finance within the healthcare industry and the other in his second year of college, playing basketball. Watching them grow into their own lives has been a reminder of just how quickly the seasons change, and how important it is to make time for the experiences and people who matter most.

When I'm not planning travel, I'm usually dreaming about my next adventure. Oahu holds a special place in my heart, with its beautiful beaches, incredible food, outdoor adventures, and rich cultural experiences. I'm drawn to destinations that offer more than a beautiful view—places that invite you to connect, explore, and experience something new.

For me, travel is about so much more than getting away. It's about what you discover, who you share it with, and the memories you bring home. That's the spirit behind Coastal & Main, and it's what I hope every traveler experiences when we work together.
