Whenever I hear the word “adventure,” it sparks my love of travel. Since my first adventure abroad as a college exchange student, I have been hooked to traveling. Thanks to this wanderlust, I have explored 70 countries and all 7 continents so far. These experiences allow me to share first-hand travel knowledge when planning your next adventure, beach holiday, or safari.
As your travel agent and adviser, I will go above and beyond what you might expect from a travel planner. Because of my own travel experiences and expertise in planning, I can craft a vacation that will be both exciting and memorable!
Some of my fondest travel experiences include strolling the Christmas Markets in the old towns of Europe and searching the Big 5 in Serengeti National Park. Trekking through Machu Picchu and the Rainbow Mountain in Peru, and riding camels near Egypt’s Great Pyramids. If you have never witnessed the untouched beauty of Antarctica, you will want to include it on your bucket list. The landscapes are breathtaking, and changing rapidly. My other great travel loves? The cultures and foods found all throughout Southeast Asia....all experiences I hope my travel clients will be able to explore someday as well!
Being a travel agent is not just something I do. It is also something I love! I am passionate about helping others explore the world.. and to find meaning in their travels. As a travel agent, planning a trip is not just a cookie cutter process. I want to be your true travel adviser, someone you can go to with your special trips and adventure travel requests. That is why I truly want to get to know my clients and understand exactly what they envision in a travel experience. My focus on customer service, vast travel knowledge, and global connections all ensure that I can provide you with a trip that like no other.

Iceland Travel Agent Specialist
Widely known as the "land of fire and ice", after four trips to this breathtaking island country Iceland has also become known as one of my favorite countries in the world.
Home to some of Europe's largest glaciers and several of the world's most active volcano's, Iceland is a land of contrasts that create some of the most stunningly beautiful landscapes on the planet.
As a travel agent with extensive experience in Iceland, I'm ready to plan the adventure you dream of. From winters of rare sunlight and dancing aurora's to summers of midnight sun and whale watching, Iceland is a year round destination that offers a little something for everyone. In addition to its other worldly landscapes, Iceland offers widely spoken English, extremely friendly locals, great food, and so much more.
The artsy and walkable capital city of Reykjavik often serves as the starting point for an Iceland adventure. This coastal city is known for it's eclectic street art, music and nightlife, colorful homes, and friendliness. Walk up and down the main street, Laugavegur, exploring the many shops and restaurants. At the top of the street, visit the famous Hallgrimskirkja Church for some of the most stunning views of the city. After hunting for cool street art, visit the waterfront to witness other artistic wonders such as the Sun Voyager Sculpture and the famous entertainment venue, Harpa Concert Hall.
Just outside the city lies so much adventure. Let me help you make plans to visit the world famous Blue Lagoon to soak in the hot springs while treating yourself to a Silica mud facial and enjoying a beverage from the lagoon bar. Maybe elf school is more your thing? Or are you a Game of Thrones fan ready to relive some highlights and see the real life backdrops? These are all options I can work in to your itinerary as your travel agent.
Whether you prefer to self drive or take day trips by bus from Reykjavik, the exploration options are endless. From the geysirs, horses and waterfalls of the Golden Circle...to the black sand beaches and glaciers of South Iceland...to active volcano hikes on the Reykjanes Penninsula, I can plan an adventure itinerary that hits all the top sites.
Have the time and sense of adventure to drive the full Ring Road and see every coastal region of the country? I have the expertise and connections to make sure you have a trustworthy car rental, detailed itinerary, and on the ground support to do it safely while catching every hot spot...and the hidden ones too!
Take a moment and envision yourself soaking in hot springs, photographing the aurora's, watching the lava flow from an active volcano, petting wild Icelandic horses, or walking behind waterfalls and on glaciers...and then reach out and let me bring it to life for you!

Lisa was the consummate travel agent to assist with my bookings for my once in a lifetime trip abroad to Africa. Professional, responsive, and she went the extra mile to tend to our needs and find out what we were looking for. While we were in Tanzania, we had the full experience we asked for- spending our time between authentic local experiences in villages and seeing the animals in Serengeti National Park, to a relaxing in a cost effective and beautiful resort in Zanzibar. The best of both worlds!

I have done multiple trips with Lisa, both inside and outside the US, including Miami, Montreal, and Iceland. She has an unfailing knack for finding the most authentic experiences (and the best flight/lodging deals). She has a talent for sniffing out those great but off-the-beaten track neighborhoods, restaurants, and activities. Her genuine love of travel, culture, and adventure means that she wants you to have the trip of your dreams every time, and she will work tirelessly to make sure of it.

Amazing Nicaragua Adventure!
Lisa planned a trip to Nicaragua for me and a small group of friends over the New Year’s holiday. She is incredible at finding experiences that are off the beaten path and not the tourist traps that everyone else goes to. She designed an itinerary that was based on our specific group’s interests, and the entire trip went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Lisa if you are looking for someone who can provide professional travel planning and has the insight of a local!

Incredible experience all around!
Lisa is amazing and truly the best travel agent I have ever worked with!! She custom tailored our Iceland trip according to our preferences and gave great suggestions for our itinerary that we loved! Lisa planned an incredible trip and coordinated all of our activities with local tour operators - she is extremely organized and provided us with documentation of full daily activity details and tour vouchers well in advance of our trip. Lisa also went above and beyond while we were on the trip to make sure we were informed when there were updates to the tour schedules due to weather, and provided great options for rescheduling tours to fit our schedules! We honestly felt so taken care of before and during the trip and knew we could count on her if we had any questions or needs anytime. I highly recommend Lisa and will absolutely connect with her again for our next adventure!

She actually made a 3 big city itinerary for me namely Chicago, New York City and DC. She arranged flights, lodging and activities. Superb customer service hence i have not stopped recommending her services to anyone I know. Keep up the good work Lisa.
