My Story

Imagine a passport brimming with stamps, a heart overflowing with adventure, and a career that fuels globetrotting dreams. That's me, Shannon, the creator of LifeOfShanMarie!

​

With a love of enjoying speakeasies in Krakow, finding the perfect ceramics in Portugal, and thrifting vintage designer accessories across the globe, all while juggling the corporate life in USA. I wear my heart on my sleeve (the good and the bad!) and my blog explores all the goings of a mid-30s woman exploring and experiencing life's wonders!

Originally from Sydney Australia, I have lived a life of travel and adventure, relocating to London UK and now Chicago USA, and am on a constant expedition to explore my surroundings. Progressing from backpacking through South America, to now indulging in luxury stays and spas, I've had my fair share of travel and life experiences, and I wouldnt change anything at all!
