About Me

Beautiful Lisbon, Portugal at dusk
Beautiful Lisbon, Portugal at dusk

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, I bring a global spirit and a seasoned traveler’s perspective to every journey I plan. My passport tells the story: from the vibrant streets of Mexico to the historic canals of Venice, the whitewashed villages of Greece, the vineyards of France, and the scenic railways of Europe. I’ve lived in London and Australia, and I now call the east coast of the United States home. I’ve explored nearly every U.S. state, experienced the energy of Munich’s beer festival, and sailed on countless cruises — each trip adding to my understanding of what makes a journey truly special. I’m not just a travel advisor — I’m your partner in planning meaningful, effortless experiences. With a deep love of food, culture, and connection, I infuse every itinerary with thoughtful touches, local flavor, and genuine care. Whether you’re dreaming of your first river cruise or a rail adventure through the Alps, my goal is simple: to help you travel better, with confidence and joy at every step.

What our clients are saying...

“Tin Fish Travel is hands down the best travel team we have ever worked with! They organized an unforgettable trip for me and my husband to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, and it was nothing short of spectacular from beginning to end. Every detail was perfectly planned. From our onboard boat package and cabin selection to all of our transfers. Their curated excursions were absolutely spot on and made the entire experience even more special. We felt completely taken care of every step of the way. This was truly the best trip we have ever taken, and we cannot thank Tin Fish Travel enough for making our anniversary so memorable. We will definitely be booking our next vacation through them!” - K. Morris

Incredible Mediterranean Cruise!
Reviewed By jsalvocruisin - 21401 | Traveled to Europe
Our Mediterranean voyage from Rome to Barcelona aboard the Azamara Onward in the summer of 2025 was nothing short of incredible, thanks to the meticulous planning of Lisa at Tin Fish Travel. She crafted a seamless, door-to-door experience, managing every detail from the intimate onboard atmosphere to the refined pre- and post-cruise accommodations. Her expertise allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the journey without a single logistical worry. Lisa’s dedication truly shined in the curated activities she arranged, including high-quality, personalized excursions at every port of call. By handling all transfers and shore experiences, she transformed a standard cruise into a bespoke, stress-free adventure. If you want an expertly executed vacation where every detail is thoughtfully considered, we cannot recommend booking with Lisa highly enough.
