THE CORE GUIDE
Practical guidance for property research, pitching, deliverables and follow-up.
BUT SOME TURNED INTO REAL TRAVEL COLLABORATIONS.
While you're waiting for hotels to notice your content, another creator could already be pitching the properties you've been dreaming about.
Learn where to look, who to pitch and how to approach travel collaborations with a real strategy — not another copy-and-paste DM.

FROM SHANNON'S OWN TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHS02 / THE OPPORTUNITY COST
That boutique hotel you've saved on Instagram. The villa you keep coming back to. The unique family stay you can already picture creating content for.
How many of them have you actually approached?
Saving a property isn't the same as creating an opportunity. And waiting for the perfect portfolio or the perfect follower count won't write your first pitch.
Your next collaboration isn't guaranteed.
But the conversation can't start until you do.


They're real conversations, clear deliverables and content made for real guests.
03 / FROM GUESSING TO A PROCESS
Shannon knows what it feels like to send outreach after outreach and hear almost nothing back.
Travel collaborations are competitive. Not every property works with creators, and a quiet inbox doesn't automatically mean your work isn't good enough.
Travel Collab Ready turns her experience into a practical system for researching properties, making relevant offers and following through professionally.

THE CREATOR BEHIND THE GUIDE06 / MEET SHANNON
I'm a full-time UGC creator and family-travel storyteller. I know how competitive hotel and travel collaborations can be — because I've pitched, planned, created and delivered them myself.
I created this guide to share a more intentional way to approach opportunities, even when most properties don't reply.
