Hey, I’m Shane!

I’m the creator behind It’s That Travel Guy, a travel and lifestyle brand built around one simple idea: I don’t just show places. I help people decide what’s actually worth their time.

It’s That Travel Guy is a recommendation-first travel resource with firsthand itineraries, tours and experiences, Know Before You Go guides, practical travel tips, and custom trip planning.

I love a beautiful hotel, a bucket-list experience, a good meal, and a trip that leaves you with stories to tell. But I’m not interested in creating travel content that only looks good on camera.

I want to know: Was it actually worth it? Would I do it again? What should you know before you go?

Through my travels, I’ve learned that the most useful recommendation usually isn’t a giant list of everything you could do. It’s hearing from someone who actually went, tried it, and can tell you what they’d recommend, what they’d skip, and what they wish they knew beforehand.

That’s what It’s That Travel Guy is about.

On this site, you can steal my exact travel itineraries, find tours and experiences I’d actually recommend, get practical travel tips, check out my Know Before You Go guides, and, if you want more personalized help, have me help you plan your own trip.

My social content is where I bring you along for the experience. This site is where I help you recreate it.

Go somewhere. Make memories. Make it worth the trip.
