Specialist in Purposeful Travel

My partner Jon and I in Costa Rica

More than sightseeing. Travel with meaning.

Hello! I’m Lisa, and I help curious, thoughtful travelers explore the world through personalized journeys that prioritize authenticity, enrichment, and ease. I understand that you seek more than just a vacation; you want travel that supports local cultures and sustainable practices. 

After living in five countries and traveling to 38, I’ve learned that the most transformative travel happens when you move beyond the top-ten list. As a cultural connector, I act as your bridge to the heart and soul of a destination, ensuring you return home a little bit changed.

Why Work With Me?

Planning a truly enriching trip can feel onerous. When you partner with me, you gain a dedicated advocate and a stickler for detail who provides:

Exclusive Access. I leverage both my professional and personal networks to provide experiences that are exclusive, deeply local, and interactive.

Seamless Ease. I handle the logistical heavy lifting—from meticulous planning to real-time support while you are away—so you can stay present and active in the moment.

Meaningful Enrichment. Every itinerary is designed to foster a deep sense of place, ensuring your journey enriches both your life and the communities you visit.

What do I specialize in?

My expertise is rooted in a profound, lived connection to the places and types of travel I offer:

Peru: My Heart Home. Having lived in Peru for seven years, I’m a fluent Spanish speaker with hyper-local connections across the coast, highlands, and jungle. I design bespoke Peru itineraries that open doors to genuine experiences you simply won't find online and get a feel for the authentic rhythms of daily life there.

Latin America: Lived & Loved. With nearly a decade spent living and traveling in the region, I curate meaningful travel across Latin America—from Mexican ruins to the Andes mountains. I provide the high-touch, personalized assistance that experienced travelers require for a stress-free journey.

Small Groups: Connection in Community. I‘m a skilled facilitator and affinity group specialist. I help groups of aligned travelers step off the usual tourist path and into a more meaningful travel experience that fosters mutual understanding and collective discovery.

Ready to get out into the world and return home a little bit changed?

I’m a deep listener who believes travel is deeply personal. Whether you’re dreaming of an independent journey or joining a small group trip, I’m here to ensure your next adventure is as unique as you are.

Reach out to book a complimentary discovery call and let’s explore your next extraordinary travel adventure!

Riu Negril c/o Superwoman, Lisa
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!
