About Me

As a traveler, I want to experience the world in a way that makes sense to me. But that means different things to different people. As a travel agent, my focus is on crafting customized experiences, especially for those with a penchant for cruising like myself but who crave an individualized experience. I steer away from the ordinary, preferring to design trips that cater to specific interests and preferences.

My clients have a thought, a dream, an idea and I make it come true. Drawing from my extensive knowledge of destinations, I ensure each itinerary is a blend of popular attractions and off-the-beaten-path gems. Whether it's exploring remote islands, diving into local culture, or savoring authentic cuisine, I excel in tailoring journeys that exceed expectations and create unforgettable memories for both myself and my clients.

For example, when I traveled to Thailand & Vietnam to do a river cruise on the Mekong river, I was very interested in the local culture. So I booked a tour that allowed me to experience Bangkok as a local, taking the subway, eating a local police chief's house for dinner and seeing some local shrines. 

When I designed my trip to the Peruvian Amazon, I chose Aqua Expeditions who uses only local guides. You can read about my story here:

If you want to really explore the world, I am happy to help! I plan alot of pre and post cruise extensions that aren't the most obvious choices but give clients a great perspective on the country that they are visiting. Of course, there are cities that are must dos like Budapest or Brugge. But a great trip combines both tried and true and off the beatan path!

Lilllian planned a fantastic trip for us.
Reviewed By Sharon M - Orlando | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
My first visit to Europe was a breeze with Lillian as my travel agent. She planned a college graduation trip for my daughter and me to Italy. Everything was set up for us, so all we had to do was show up! We started in Florence and Lillian helped us with daily sightseeing ideas and booked a wonderful cooking class for us at a local culinary institute.

From there, Lillian designed a driving itinerary for us to explore Tuscany on our own, which included stops at towns such as Greve in Chianti and Panzano, where we participated in a local wine festival Lillian discovered.

She also booked a cozy farmhouse with amazing views in Castellina. From there, we drove to the Cinque Terre coast and stayed in a wonderful hotel steps from the beach.

We used all her tips to find local gems like hot springs and took advantage of the Trip Plans App, which made it easy to consult our itinerary each day and share it with loved ones at home. Lillian is always available to answer any questions.

The best travel planner I have ever worked with!
Reviewed By Max - Philadelphia, PA | Traveled to California ~ USA
Lillian has planned multiple trips for me, from a thrilling college campus exploration + downhill skateboarding adventure in California to an enlightening vacation in Peru. For all, Lillian meticulously created itineraries that achieved the goal of the trip while also providing ample opportunity for relaxation and expedition. It was clear to me immediately that Lillian is the perfect person to work with. Her excitement about travel is palpable, and her expertise, conscientiousness, and creativity are apparent in every interaction with her. She presents the costs, travel timing, and sequence of events in a clear and concise manner while also allowing room for detours from the path (as travel often entails)! I would HIGHLY recommend working with Lillian. As long as Lillian is planning trips, I will be coming to her for all of my travel adventures!
