Travel style

My travel style blends a deep appreciation for both fast-paced, urban adventures and slow, immersive experiences. From my formative time studying abroad in Italy to nearly a decade living in the heart of New York City, I've spent years exploring Europe and Australia, always seeking out unique cultural experiences. Since moving to Honolulu in 2021, I’ve embraced a more laid-back, nature-centric approach to travel, immersing myself in the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. Whether it's trekking through Alaska or savoring the cuisine in Japan, I love curating trips that balance excitement with relaxation, and I'm always eager for the next journey, with upcoming trips to Mexico, Vietnam and Thailand on the horizon.

Lydia's reviews

Lydia Pender was a pleasure to deal with as a travel advisor. She knew what we were looking for to celebrate our 40th anniversary, and she delivered with the Alohalani. She must have relayed our anniversary to the Alohilani, because we received champaign and cookies in our room, along a very sweet card. We also received a few upgrades, including daily breakfasts. Lydia gave us recommendations on where to eat within walking distance. She also suggested what shops were close by for our needs. She gave us information on local attractions to visit, including some that we would never have thought of. She knew the area well and was very eager to share her knowledge. I highly recommend Lydia as a travel advisor.

Lydia was wonderful to work with! Prompt and provided good options. Checked in and made sure we were taken care of.

Lydia personally did great! My husband & I value ease to beaches & great service. She suggested the perfect place for us a walk across the beach, unlimited suggestions from her daily of activities in our area which we ended up doing & lastly she was always there to have a plan when we needed help on scheduling! Highly recommend! Her contagious positive attitude & liveliness is incomparable, she found herself travelers for life! Thank you Lydia!
