Travels
my name is
Shakura Castro
I wear many hats - wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, cousin, forensic scientist, and world traveler. Each title shapes who I am, but travel is where I truly come alive. My love for exploring the world began early, but I didn’t get the chance to travel internationally until my sophomore year at Spelman College. That life-changing opportunity took me to Lisbon, Portugal. My first passport stamp and the beginning of a deep love affair with experiencing new cultures, languages, and landscapes.
Now, as a mother, I’ve made it a priority to introduce my son to the world from a young age. Watching him collect passport stamps and embrace the beauty of new places has only deepened my passion for travel. To me, travel is more than just a getaway - it’s connection, growth, joy, and discovery. Through Shakura Travels, I’m here to help you design unforgettable journeys filled with meaning, excitement, and ease for you and your family.
