Profile details
About
I am passionate about travel, interior design and gardens. For me, it's the little details that truly set every space and experience apart. I find joy in family gatherings and time spent with friends.
Travel style
While I love luxury travel, I am also an avid explorer who is equally at home in cities and the countryside. I relish every opportunity to hike and immerse myself in nature. I believe that the best trips involve connecting with locals and experiencing their culture firsthand. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I like to end most days with a delicious sit-down meal that’s an experience in itself. I am on track to visit 10 countries in 2024. I can’t wait to see what adventures lie ahead with family and friends for 2025!
Why work with me:
As a Fora Pro advisor, I am in the top 5% of our advisor network. I love my job and it shows! I will humanize your travel planning and add value to your travel. While there is a wealth of information on-line, I can simplify it for you, so that you can enjoy your trips without the stress that comes with the planning process. With my extensive training, travel experience and valuable resources at hand, I am a destination expert. The combination of knowing you and knowing the destination allows me to offer crafted itineraries and personalized recommendations. You have my number to use as needed during the planning process and throughout your travels. As we will build our relationship, your trips will become increasingly more aligned with your unique travel style.
I offer hotel and cruise bookings at online rates, passing on any available discounts and promotions directly to you. I can secure member rates and ensure your loyalty number is attached to your reservation. Because hotels and cruise lines include travel advisor commissions in their pricing, my booking services come at no additional cost to you. That's right — you won't pay extra when I handle your reservations. Additionally, by booking through me, you gain access to exclusive perks, such as complimentary breakfast for two, $100 resort credits, room upgrades and early check-in/late check-out, when available. Cruise lines often provide similar benefits. With my expertise, I not only alleviate the stress of travel planning but also help you save money, all while elevating your travel experiences.
As a Fora advisor and Virtuoso member, I leverage an extensive network of preferred partners that spans thousands of hotels, cruise lines, homes and villas and in-country tour operators. I maintain direct communication not only with reservationists but also with management. I cultivate these relationships at several industry events each year. This ensures that when I make reservations for my clients, they receive VIP treatment, and hotel staff are prepared to welcome them before arrival. Moreover, should any issues arise, I am well-positioned to advocate on your behalf and ensure a smooth resolution.
Some clients prefer that I book just accommodations, while others need a comprehensive itinerary that includes every detail, right down to dinner reservations. Rest assured, I am happy to provide as much or as little support as each individual trip requires. Hotel bookings come at no cost, but I offer personalized itinerary planning starting at an accessible daily rate of $50.
Each trip begins with a consultation to discuss your preferences and travel aspirations. I ensure full transparency by outlining any fees upfront, so you can plan with confidence and no unexpected surprises.
Whether you want to travel regionally or around the world, connect with me to start the planning process! I look forward to working with you and making your travel experiences exceptional.

Lisa's reviews
Lisa listened to our needs — a spa getaway with outdoor hiking within driving distance of our home in MD. She kept us informed and took care of all the details so we could relax and reset after intense work seasons.

Lisa planned our trip to Rome and Amalfi Coast. She has planned trips for us in the past, and as always, offered thoughtful and meticulous planning. Case in point, Lisa arranged for a personal car/driver so that we could explore some of the smaller and lesser known Amalfi Coast towns like Ravello which is a real gem!

Lisa planned our 30th wedding anniversary trip which included 9 days in Greece. Lisa is a master planner, but also know that she is WELL traveled. Lisa offered personal recommendations for restaurants, and suggested a walking excursion between Santorini and Oia. Thanks Lisa, for an unforgettable experience!

Lisa was fantastic to work with. She was efficient, thoughtful, and very patient with me. She made the entire booking process easy and even answered some texts we had while enjoying our vacation. I look forward to working with Lisa again in the future!
