Shelby has been lucky enough to experience some amazing things during her time in travel:

  • In Russia, she river cruised from Moscow to St Petersburg, visiting the small Russian towns in-between. She also interviewed a cosmonaut in Moscow, experienced the Russian ballet at a palace in St Petersburg and visited the world famous Hermitage Museum.
