My Story
I’ve traveled to 60 countries, lived in five, and always have a list of where to go (and where to eat and drink) next. Whether adventuring with my husband and two grown sons or exploring with friends, I love discovering new places and sharing those experiences. With a background in hospitality and photography, I bring a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of what makes a trip truly unforgettable.

I create seamless, personalized travel experiences—whether it’s a food-focused city escape or a luxury retreat. From curating unique tours and recommending restaurants to tracking flights and handling logistics, I take care of every detail so you can relax and enjoy. Hotel and cruise bookings are always free of charge. My service fee starts at $525 for a week—it is based on the complexity and duration of your trip. You’ll receive a personalized quote after our complimentary consultation.

Working with Lisa was an absolute pleasure. She planned an exceptional trip for us and carefully selected accommodations that perfectly matched our preferences. We enjoy staying in smaller, boutique-style properties and her selections exceeded our expectations.
Lisa's extensive knowledge of Spain and Portugal, combined with her personal travel experience, added tremendous value to our trip and made the entire experience even more memorable. Her attention to detail, thoughtful recommendations, and commitment to creating the perfect itinerary were evident throughout the planning process.
I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking to plan a trip to Spain, Portugal, or beyond. Her expertise and dedication ensure a truly exceptional travel experience.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Lisa Roah and the incredible experience she created for us throughout our journey from Barcelona to Florence and Rome. Every detail of the trip was flawlessly organized, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy each destination without having to worry about a single thing.
From the vibrant energy of Barcelona to the beauty and charm of Florence, and finally the timeless history and elegance of Rome, every hotel, recommendation, and experience felt perfectly curated for us. The itinerary struck the ideal balance between sightseeing, relaxation, and authentic local experiences.
What impressed us most was the level of care, responsiveness, and attention to detail throughout the entire trip. It was clear that so much thought went into making each part of our vacation seamless and special. We especially appreciated the personalized touches and insider recommendations that made us feel like we were experiencing these cities in a truly unique way. Traveling internationally can sometimes feel overwhelming, but thanks to their expertise, everything flowed effortlessly from one city to the next.
This was one of the best trips we’ve ever taken, and we are so grateful for the unforgettable memories they helped create. We would enthusiastically recommend Lisa Roah to anyone looking for a luxury, stress-free, and beautifully planned European vacation.

A Week-Long Itinerary in Guatemala: City and Nature
Guatemala. Volcanos, Mayan culture, crystal blue lakes, incredible markets... the list goes on and on. It is such a picturesque country, and the people are so friendly. Start in Antigua, well known for its architecture, ruins of colonial churches and cobblestoned streets. Move onto Chichicastenango to experience a local market unlike any other, continuing onto Lake Atitlan. This lake is widely considered one of the most beautiful in the world, surrounded by three volcanoes and known for the unique towns around the lake. San Pedro La Laguna is not to be missed for shopping and exploring.

5 Night Coastal Getaway to Zihuatanejo, Mexico
Zihuatanejo is a charming coastal Mexican town with many different beaches and a lovely old town with narrow streets, shops and restaurants. I loved that we were able to fly direct from Los Angeles, hop in a taxi and be at our hotel within twenty minutes, toes in the sand, already ordering tacos and margaritas. It is a perfect five-day vacation, as you don't want to leave the beach for at least three days, which leaves one to go out fishing and snorkeling with one of the local boat captains and another to stroll along the beach walk with dozens of cafés and bars, followed by a massage and dinner overlooking the ocean. Ixtapa is a quick drive if you want to check out a nearby town, but we felt no need to do so as Zihuatanejo was perfect.
