More than sightseeing. Travel with meaning.
Hello! I’m Lisa, a travel advisor and cultural connector with over a decade of experience living abroad, and a lifetime of exploring our beautiful world. I offer the insider access and Spanish fluency needed to move you beyond the top-ten lists and into the heart of Latin America. Specializing in Peru and Mexico (with good knowledge of most of Central and South America), as well as Small Group Journeys, I curate itineraries that prioritize authenticity, enrichment, and ease. By leveraging my deep networks, I open doors to genuine local experiences you simply won’t find online. When you work with me, you offload the onerous logistics to a stickler for detail, ensuring a seamless journey that respects local communities. I’ll be your dedicated advocate, ensuring you don’t just see a destination—you connect with it and return home a little bit changed.

Reviewed By Frankie007 - Malaga | Traveled to Spain | Europe

A perfect balance!
Reviewed By Claudette - Ottawa, Ontario | Traveled to Spain | Europe
Lisa was host and organizer of this trip which was primarily a writing retreat, with a few days before and after the retreat week for sightseeing. She played both roles perfectly!
First, as organizer, she arranged flights, buses, trains and transfers as well as hotels and retreat centres. I felt free to do any of the above myself, but why would I when she was so good at it?! Her communication with us (the retreat group) was clear about what we did need to do and the best way to do it, and what we could expect from her. After the organizing was complete, she was host as one of the facilitators at the retreat and on our sightseeing days. In both, she was to be able to balance leading and staying out of the way, with ease!
The retreat, unlike many I looked at, was focussed on writing, with time for learning and insight, and lots of quiet time for writing. All this in a beautiful setting with delicious food and great company. Thank you Lisa!

The trip was great!
Reviewed By Ranger16 - Edinburgh, Belfast and area | Traveled to United Kingdom | Europe
Working with Lisa was great! I love the Tern app. It made everything easier. Being able to see everything about our different air flights. If on time, tracked our luggage and seats. Our hotels, B&B. Kept track of our dates where we were. Car rental easy pick up and drop off at the airport.
The hotel Delta in Edinburgh was close to relatives. Easy access and close to the trams to downtown. Also close to the Gayle Centre. Did different walking tours of the city of Edinburgh.
The hotel in Belfast was across from the Titanic experience also the hop on hop off bus was close for easy access.
Ballykeel Farm was a great place and location. Very close to Kilkeel and the Mourne mountains. Hiking was great in the area. Anne was a great hostess.
The Rest A While B&B was a great location near to the Giant’s Causeway. Hiking was very good and the views fantastic. Gail our host was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was very filling.
Overall I’m very pleased how Lisa arranged and booked everything for us. I would definitely have her plan any big trips in the future.

Lisa made it all work!
Reviewed By Paul & Tory - Toronto, ON, Canada | Traveled to Ghana | Africa
We went to Ghana for 15 days. We had never been anywhere in Africa and needed a lot of help. Lisa connected us with everyone we needed to make the trip a great success. Besides the practical things needed to make a trip to an unfamiliar place work, Lisa added value for people like us who love cultural travel, by making her "library" available for good things to read and see before the trip, to prepare us culturally.
She did an excellent job communicating with us and taking care of our concerns. We heartily recommend her services!

My present and future Travel Agent
Reviewed By M - Ottawa | Traveled to Europe
Lisa Colleen Carter provides personalized service with attention to detail and on-going support. She is professional and knowledgeable, and she has exceptional communication skills. Her suggestions saved time, avoided congested airports and stayed within budget. She adapted smoothly to my last-minute requests to change my itinerary. With my limited tech-skills, the Tern App she provides and the Roamless App she suggested were very helpful and user-friendly. Thank you Lisa.

Best travel agent ever
Lisa Colleen Carter arranged two trips for us – one to Peru and another to Scotland. She did an excellent job, looking after all the details and bookings, found us airfare deals, and gave us a detailed itinerary with all information in one place that was accessible from my phone. Both trips went off without a hitch but I knew that should something unexpected happen, Lisa was just a phone call or text away. Her attention to detail is phenomenal and I could relax knowing she had done all the hard work for us! Best travel agent ever.
