More than sightseeing. Travel with meaning.
Hello! I’m Lisa, a travel advisor and cultural connector with over a decade of experience living abroad, and a lifetime of exploring our beautiful world. I offer the insider access and Spanish fluency needed to move you beyond the top-ten lists and into the heart of Latin America. Specializing in Peru and Mexico (with good knowledge of most of Central and South America), as well as Small Group Journeys, I curate itineraries that prioritize authenticity, enrichment, and ease. By leveraging my deep networks, I open doors to genuine local experiences you simply won’t find online. When you work with me, you offload the onerous logistics to a stickler for detail, ensuring a seamless journey that respects local communities. I’ll be your dedicated advocate, ensuring you don’t just see a destination—you connect with it and return home a little bit changed.

Lisa worked with our family for several months to find us the "perfect" getaway on the beach during March break. Travelling at peak time (school holiday) is always expensive and the options are overwhelming. We asked Lisa to help us find our perfect resort within a budget and prioritizing our must-haves. Lisa did not disappoint; she provided many options openly and with kindness; we never felt pressured nor did we feel bad about saying no to an option in the hopes that she'd dig further for us. She really genuinely dug around, always keeping budget and wish list top of mind, to find our gem. And she was so very successful; in an effort to avoid any risk of sargassum during March break, we decided on Negril in Jamaica and everything was amazing!

Lisa Colleen Carter provides personalized service with attention to detail and on-going support. She has exceptional communication skills. She is professional and knowledgable. Her suggestions saved me time, money, backtracking, and avoided a major air terminal hub. The website she uses is easy to navigate and provides realtime updates.
I will call upon Lisa Colleen Carter for future travel planning.
Thank you Lisa.
