Bridging the
Gap
Travel Design
Itineraries custom tailored to you and your travel needs. No repeat or carbon copy plans. A trip designed to fit where you are in your mid-life.
“Travel makes you realize that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn.”
Are you one of those individuals where you have a desire to travel but the thought of planning out a location, all the logistics and sourcing transformational immersive experiences results in anxiety or telling yourself you don't even know where to begin so you don't?
It all adds up not only for your mental space capacity but also your valuable time. Unless you have a true passion for travel planning and the time to dedicate to doing so, the process can become so overwhelming that by the time you are on your trip, you are exhausted and uninspired.
Allow me to give you back your valued time, energy and feeling of being overwhelmed by offering my services as your Travel Designer. With over 35 years of travel experience, creating and owning my own tour company and having been traveled to over 20 different countries and living abroad, I have come to find I have a passion for travel and everything involved in planning out amazing trips, tours and experiences!

Travel Design Pillars
Each travel design will focus around my five pillars for travel planning; Curiosity, Courage, Clarity, Creativity, and Play.
These pillars are what I use as my design compass when creating personalized journey's, experiences and wild adventures. Outside of the box ideation is at the core of our planning conversations.
Your Path to your Heart
Travel plans focus on the design of your pathway with 1:1 private discovery calls to determine how best to design the trip that will resonate and transform your heart. Utilizing my strengths in travel and event planning will result in clarity and creativity in designing your adventure.
Travel Itinerary
After the 4 discovery calls, I will be providing you a complete trip itinerary including location, transportation, meals and accommodations and any individualized and group immersive experiences. This will become your roadmap and compass for your upcoming journey.
How I Design
I get curious and learn about your desires, needs and go over your ideas of where you want to travel.
I create a vision board filled with all the options and possibilities your heart is resonating with.
Together, we adjust, calibrate and align the travel plan with your values and purpose for the journey until you are 100% happy.
I create your custom trip with extra touches and a few surprises. I will be there for you before, during and upon your return.
Travel is a Blank Canvas Ready for Your Impressions
The beauty about travel - It's Boundless!
You dream it, and we can plan it!
A trip gives you the freedom to let go, forego your normal routines and challenge yourself to be whomever you want to be as though no one is watching! It's called freedom. It's called getting back in touch with yourself and hopefully begin feeling the excitement in your heart you have been longing for.
My travel experience is broad and plentiful!
I would love to share my knowledge on how to get you to where you are dreaming of going.
I have a knack for finding hidden gems and connecting to locals in engaging communities.
My curiosity and creativity are definitely my strengths when it comes to trip planning, tour creations and itinerary building. Logistics and details come naturally to me and for that reason alone, travel planning has always been a passion in my life for as long as I can remember. As some would say; "I caught the travel bug" early on in my adventuring through life.
Are you ready to start a conversation on where you have always wanted to go?
I'm ready to design and plan an itinerary to meet all your needs. If by chance you want me to come along and guide you, it's part of our discussion on how we are going to make this a reality for you. Let's Go!!
It was a true pleasure working with Lisa. We enjoyed her creativity and thinking outside the box to plan our much needed trip as sisters. We were feeling overwhelmed and indecisive as to where we wanted to go! Lisa assisted us in narrowing down the options and listened intently to what our "ideal trip" looked like and then she ran with those details in her design and plan. Lisa took care of every detail, offering great suggestions to us. The detailed itinerary and the app she provided us gave us the opportunity to just enjoy our time together! Having a trip planned down to taxi rides and train tickets along with built in options and flexibility is the way to go. We will definitely use Lisa again.
Your Investment
Lisa creates truly bespoke trips where each journey is made from scratch, and is seamlessly tailored with your interests and preferences in mind, curated just for you!
