About Us

​At Lagniappe Adventures, we believe travel should be more than just a trip—it should be an experience with a little something extra. 

Founded by Shawn Chelette, Lagniappe Adventures was born from a passion for exploring the world and helping others do the same. After years of traveling and planning trips with family and friends, Shawn turned that passion into a full-time travel business focused on creating personalized experiences and genuine connections with a Southern touch of hospitality and joy.

We’re proudly veteran owned & partners of Fora Travel, an accredited host agency that provides access to exclusive industry partnerships, trusted supplier relationships, and traveler protections. Together, we make your dream trip effortless from start to finish.

“Lagniappe” (pronounced LAN-yap) means “a little something extra,” and that’s exactly what we deliver in every itinerary, every recommendation, and every journey.
