About Me

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.

Best travel agent !
Reviewed By Raymond - Alberta Canada | Traveled to Peru | South America
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. I also 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.
