Travel style

I like to sleep in luxury but spend my days off-the-beaten-path. I like to meet people — locals and other travelers. I love to research restaurants and local music as well.

Lissa's reviews

Lissa is great. Super responsive, takes time to get to know her clients. I've done two very big trips with her so far (Italy and India/Dubai) and will continue to use her for my travel needs. She makes herself available and listens to what it is I'm looking for. She also advocates on our behalf with the travel partners to make sure our needs are met as well. Love working with her and glad I was connected to her through Fora!
