About Me

My recent trip to Mexico!
My recent trip to Mexico!

Travel should never feel generic. It should feel personal, intentional, and unforgettable.

I’m Lia Hershkovitz, a luxury travel advisor with over 20 years of experience designing highly customized journeys for discerning travelers who want more than just a beautiful hotel and a packed itinerary — they want meaningful experiences, seamless execution, and insider access that elevates every moment.

Through my boutique agency, Guide Me Away, I curate bespoke travel across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East, crafting journeys that reflect who you are, how you travel, and what truly excites you. Whether it’s a multi-generational family adventure, a milestone celebration, a destination wedding, or a privately guided cultural immersion, every detail is thoughtfully designed and expertly managed.

My clients value authenticity, privacy, elevated service, and experiences that go beyond the tourist trail. I specialize in pairing exceptional accommodations with exclusive experiences, trusted local partners, and smooth logistics — so your only job is to enjoy the journey

.As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, inclusivity is not a trend for me — it’s a core value. Every client deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated wherever they travel. I work intentionally with vetted global partners who share those standards.

With deep industry relationships, preferred partner benefits, and hands-on destination knowledge, I advocate fiercely for my clients and deliver elevated value that simply isn’t available online.At Guide Me Away, our mission is simple: Design extraordinary travel experiences that feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable.

If you’re ready to travel better — not just farther — I’d love to guide you.

Had to get a flight during a family emergency. Lia took care of everything and let me focus on the important things. This wasn't the first time Lia helped me and I have used her services again. I won't book travel without consulting her first.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Client Testimonials

I never imagined I would ever use a travel agent
I never imagined I would ever use a travel agent -- but I can 100% recommend it! I gave Lia a sketchy brief (we want a winter break somewhere sunny, but we're not beach people) and a couple of questions (is there a hotel option with a bit more character?), and she absolutely nailed it. We're off to Havana after Christmas! Total time investment, less than an hour. I will never waste hours in the endless mirror-world of lookalike travel sites again.

Best family all-inclusive trip to Mexico!
Lia was invaluable in helping us plan a family all-inclusive trip to Mexico. I was overwhelmed trying to find a holiday spot that would meet the needs of all: our adult son and his girlfriend, our other son and his wife and two children aged 4 and 2, plus us, the grandparents. She talked to me about our needs and wishes and recommended three strong possibilities. We further discussed and chose one. The result was a trip that created memories that all of us will always cherish. Lia’s efficiency, and ability to listen and put into action, are first class. We will definitely ask her to help us with more trip planning in the future. Well done, Lia. Thank you so much!

The personalized attention, the appropriate selection of destinations, places to see, things to do and choice of hotels is what we can call "tailored travel" with peace of mind and great experiences.
