I would like to introduce you to YOUR LIFE JOURNEYS SPECIALIST. Having built successful businesses over the past 3 decades while also being a wife and mom to 4 very busy children, I know that success lies in the details, creative solutions and "special touches". That mindset & attitude are crucial to creating wonderful lifetime memories. As a travel agent who is also a certified concierge I'm experienced in creating "WOW! on a budget" as well as, the finer, white glove journeys and events.

I develop long term relationships with my clients because I delight in the details of their journeys. From "SURPRISE!!!" Proposal travel, Destination weddings & Honeymoons, to traveling with small children and multi-generational families, these trips must be planned as cherished and priceless, treasured days. Milestone travel is especially fun to create for my clients as they celebrate an accomplishment and venture into a new chapter. Vow renewals for the couple and their family or in group settings are one of my most favorite trips to design for my clients! The "I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN" vacations are not only a celebration, but a legacy of love to be shared and treasured.

Sadly, a few years ago, our oldest son, Drew, passed away and we became very aware of the shattering effects that has on every aspect of your life. I have a very heartfelt focus to help couples and their families get away together. Whether the trip is to be a memorial journey or just to relax, time away can be very healing and needed after such a unfathomable loss. To be a part of this journey is not only humbling, it's an honor.

Lastly, I love to give back...so our "Make a Difference. Make a Memory" program brings a whole different twist to fund raising! Now... what can be better than that?!?!?

Lisa did a superb job recommending a resort for our anniversary. She is responsive, detail oriented and knows what questions to ask.

J Baker - Great Exuma ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean

Lisa was there for us every step of the way. When we first started looking into a vacation, she gave us many different options. She made sure the options we were given fit all of what we were wanting and within our price range. Once finally settling on a trip, she continued to be there every step of the way! We had to do very little work to have a trip of a life time! All inclusive wasn’t anything we had ever thought of before, but Lisa suggested it and we LOVED IT!

Katie - Costa Rica ~ Central America

Lisa has gone above and beyond to meet our needs. I’m going with a group of five other ladies and it was an impossible task for her to accommodate to our wants and needs. However, she hit the ground running and exceeded our expectations.

Allison - Puerto Vallarta ~ Jalisco ~ Mexico

I made a wish for a perfect family vacation followed by a wish for a perfect couples vacation. Lisa made them both come true in the same month!!

Greg - Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA

Lisa handled every detail of our Marriage Getaway! Quickly she worked with us finding different options for our large group to travel together for a marriage getaway. Lisa handled the airfare, transportation to the cruise ship and the cruise. From deposits to final payments, she reminded us of deadlines for information and payments. She researched and found the perfect location in one of the ports for our group to gather and arranged for us to use the venue. Lisa is so knowledgeable and easy to work with, she answered all of our questions. We could not have made this trip happen without her!

Susan - Caribbean

Lisa did an excellent job planning our road trip up the east coast! She listened to our ideas and planned a route that captured everything that we wanted. The hotels she booked were wonderful - in great locations, close to popular activities, and all for a great value! It was a wonderful trip, and we can't wait to go back!

Anna - Charleston ~ South Carolina ~ USA

Lisa is awesome to work with. She wears all the hats so you don't have to. She is always one step ahead. Thank you Lisa for making it a great memory. Will definitely use you again..

K Reyes - Cozumel ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico

Lisa has always been super friendly and helpful finding us the best rates, places to stay, and things to do. She is such a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her.

Connie - Banff ~ Alberta ~ Canada

Lisa was very thorough. She listened to what I wanted and brought many ideas to me that I could pick from. I would absolutely recommend reaching out to Lisa to help plan your next trip big or small!

Jason - Michigan ~ USA

Easy to talk to to make your travel vision come true.

Greg - Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA

Lisa was very professional and always available. She gave us great information and was open and honest. The folder that she provided to us was so beneficial. She had printed off anything we might need to know about our trip. Every aspect that could be thought of Lisa took care of us. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

Sally - Mexico

Lisa was absolutely amazing from the very beginning of planning our honeymoon to arriving home. I can honestly say, I was dreading planning our honeymoon. I wanted all of the bells and whistles on the trip but I didn't know how to go about getting things booked. I was also planning a large wedding and the honeymoon seemed to fall by the wayside. Lisa was able to take care of every aspect of our trip and took all of the stress away from us. She got things set up for us that we didn't even know we wanted! A week before our trip there was a mix up with the room we were supposed to be in, Lisa went above and beyond the call of duty and got us an upgraded room at no cost to us. We were able to experience the most St. Lucia had to offer, thanks to Lisa. Traveling was a breeze after a stressful year of wedding planning. I have already referred my brother to Lisa, who just got back from his honeymoon as well. My husband and I WILL be using Lisa again in our future travels.

Gina and Seth - St. Lucia ~ Caribbean

Lisa organized and coordinated two big trips for us in 2024. She took care of every detail, even those I had not thought of. She kept us informed of progress on the planning and provided all the travel information and details. She was patient and efficient when we asked to make some minor changes. Lisa is very professional. I highly recommend Lisa and will definitely have her plan our next trips.

Rita - Bahamas ~ Caribbean

I’ve worked with Lisa for many years. She’s always been wonderful at finding my team and I great rates on short notice.

Chris - Baltimore ~ Maryland ~ USA

Lisa made our trip planning so incredibly easy. In addition we had some last second changes that she was able to help us get resolved for an entirely stress free vacation plan. I would highly recommend using her to book your vacation.
