In 2005, I embarked on my first major international adventure to Europe, exploring Italy and France and witnessing the excitement of the Tour de France firsthand. It was such an incredible experience that I immediately started planning the next trip, and then the next, and soon I had my travel plans mapped out for the next couple of years!
Whether it’s exploring with my husband Brian, taking memorable trips with my mom, or jetting off with my closest girlfriends, there is nothing I cherish more than immersing myself in the unique charm of a new destination with those dearest to me.
Over the years, I’ve often been asked for travel tips and recommendations, and I found joy in sharing my experiences. This blog is my way of passing that joy to you. You’ll find detailed travel itineraries, group trip inspirations, and my personal insights into destinations. I hope my stories ignite your wanderlust and inspire you to create your own unforgettable travel memories.

Hi, I’m Shawna, co-founder of Laugh Lines & Travel Signs.
I’ve been traveling with my long-time friend and co-founder, Melissa, for years. Together, we realized we wanted to create something that brings that same sense of connection and discovery to other women. Laugh Lines & Travel Signs Escapes grew out of that vision—to offer travel experiences that feel genuine, grounded, and full of those simple, unforgettable moments.
When I’m not planning our next trip, you’ll find me outside exploring, cooking something inspired by a past adventure, or enjoying time with my family. I can’t wait to welcome you on one of our escapes and share a little bit of the world with you.
See you soon.
Shawna ❤️
