Greetings Traveler and Company decision makers,

My name is Lystra, and I am a Lead Decolonizing Travel Strategist and founder of Qmooniti Travel & Lifestyle.

I’ve been in the travel industry for over 25 years, and since 2011 I’ve specialized in designing transformative, culturally rooted journeys for groups, families, affinity circles, and mission-driven organizations.

My niche is decolonizing group travel curation—creating retreats, strategy meetings, youth trainings, and community gatherings where people feel safe, seen, and deeply connected.

I’m known for blending luxury, education, and joy in ways that honor land, lineage, and collective care. My methodology for building belonging in travel spaces has become globally recognized, and clients often tell me they’ve never felt so held or so at home while abroad.

I’ve traveled to over 130 countries and lived in more than a dozen, giving me a rare global fluency and an intuitive understanding of how to design experiences that are culturally respectful and emotionally resonant.

I frequently curate journeys to Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago, Colombia, and across the Caribbean and Latin America. I’m also a specialist for Tahiti, Mexico, Portugal, Japan, Rwanda, South Africa, and other destinations across the African continent.

Whether you’re planning an equity-centered team retreat, a luxury wellness journey, or a culturally immersive affinity group experience, I bring deep expertise in psychological safety, community care, and decolonial travel design.

My goal is simple: to create travel that transforms—travel that feels like belonging.

If you’re searching for a decolonizing travel advisor for organizational retreats or a luxury group travel specialist rooted in culture and community, I’d be honored to guide your next journey.
