Travel Simplified

Permission Granted Travel was founded as an antidote to the American addiction to working. Throughout her 20+ years within the advertising industry, Shameka saw countless colleagues surrender unused vacation days at the end of each calendar year. Often pressured to work or too scared to use their vacation days, many worked themselves into near exhaustion. And now as an executive coach, she’s seeing similar patterns with her clients’ lack of work-life balance.

 As a native New Yorker, she has been obsessed with traveling outside of NYC since the age of five and she instinctively started curating her own trips in her mid-20s. Soon, she was planning adventures for her friends, family and former colleagues.

Founded in 2017, Permission Granted Travel specializes in luxury, all-inclusive experiences for clients who are too busy to plan a getaway or retreat, but certainly need one. Each year, we scour the Caribbean, Mexico and Europe in search of wellness-inspired brands offering thoughtful service, delectable cuisine and luxe accommodations.

Whether recommending a 5-star resort, luxury cruise, wellness destination or retreat venue, we customize itineraries with the perfect amount of rest and play. Our clientele has earned their vacation time and the right to use it. With our travel concierge leading the way, they can easily consider that permission granted!
