My Story
Book some awe with me this year. As a travel advisor who is also an artist, educator, and sailor, I design joyful experiential travel for inquisitive clients.
Travel Style
The beauty of travel is in discovering context. To gain a sense of a place, I like to mix adventures (dips in volcanic mud pools and helo rides to glaciers) with quiet studies (insider tours and dinners with locals). Time to reflect is key. I enjoy hotels that blend intriguing design, well-considered amenities, and impeccable customer service into an atmosphere that is both comforting and inspiring. As your travel advisor, I am your partner in connecting with locals, savoring little-known treasures, and getting behind the postcard.

Lisa was amazing! She took all the work out of the booking process. We just had to show up and enjoy ourselves!

Lisa was a dream to work with. She provided great information and choices from the beginning of our trip planning and all the way through, and helped to be sure everything was in place for us. The itinerary portal was a really awesome tool and keep things well organized. Lisa's great communication made it easy to manage updates/changes on the portal during the planning stages. This trip would not have been nearly as pleasant if didn't have Lisa helping us. We will never take another trip without her!

Lisa has been so awesome and I have enjoyed having her assist in our travel plans and suggestions! So much so she is handling our travel and arrangements for my daughter's Italian 2025 wedding! I love how organized I felt having the app to check on itineraries, contacts, and info. She was very helpful on some of the hiccups that were out of her control but appreciated that support. Highly recommend her!

4-Day Costa Rica Itinerary: Coastal Luxury & Adventure
Costa Rica is a mesmerizing blend of culture and biodiversity. In a time before zip lines, I grew comfortable there with bullfrogs skipping under cafe tables, lizards skulking above hotel beds and succulent fish dinners served at family restaurants on the sand. Costa Rica is still a wild and wondrous place and the modern Gulf of Papagayo provides every imaginable way to explore the intersection of sea, sand, mountains, and forests around Culebra Bay. This 4-day Costa Rica itinerary works as a quick getaway or as a leg of a longer journey.
