WHY TRAVEL WITH LISA
Travel is my passion, and has been since my youth. I am fortunate to have stepped foot on over 7 continents and visited almost every state in the U.S. These adventures have opened me to a sense of wonder and freedom. Amazing personal growth has happened as I traveled. Every trip I embarked upon was like a wave moving me forward expanding my horizons.
I invite you to join me on a journey to the light and be open to the adventures you will have, the people you’ll meet and unexpected gifts around every corner.
