About Me

Professional Full Service Travel & Concierge

I would like to introduce you to YOUR LIFE JOURNEYS SPECIALIST. Having built successful businesses over the past 3 decades while also being a wife and mom to 4 very busy children, I know that success lies in the details, creative solutions and "special touches". That mindset & attitude are crucial to creating wonderful lifetime memories. As a travel agent who is also a certified concierge I'm experienced in creating "WOW! on a budget" as well as, the finer, white glove journeys and events.

I develop long term relationships with my clients because I delight in the details of their journeys. From "SURPRISE!!!" Proposal travel, Destination weddings & Honeymoons, to traveling with small children and multi-generational families, these trips must be planned as cherished and priceless, treasured days.  Milestone travel is especially fun to create for my clients as they celebrate an accomplishment and venture into a new chapter.  Vow renewals for the couple and their family or in group settings are one of my most favorite trips to design for my clients! The "I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN" vacations are not only a celebration, but a legacy of love to be shared and treasured. 

Sadly, a few years ago, our oldest son, Drew, passed away and we became very aware of the shattering effects that has on every aspect of your life.  I have a very heartfelt focus to help couples and their families get away together. Whether the trip is to be a memorial journey or just to relax, time away can be very healing and needed after such a unfathomable loss. To be a part of this journey is not only humbling, it's an honor. 

Lastly, I love to give back...so our "Make a Difference. Make a Memory" program brings a whole different twist to fund raising! Now... what can be better than that?!?!?

Riu Guanacaste— highly recommended!
Reviewed By Katie - Colorado Springs, Colorado | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Lisa was there for us every step of the way. When we first started looking into a vacation, she gave us many different options. She made sure the options we were given fit all of what we were wanting and within our price range. Once finally settling on a trip, she continued to be there every step of the way! We had to do very little work to have a trip of a life time! All inclusive wasn’t anything we had ever thought of before, but Lisa suggested it and we LOVED IT!

Girls trip!
Reviewed By Allison - Independence MO | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta ~ Jalisco ~ Mexico
Lisa has gone above and beyond to meet our needs. I’m going with a group of five other ladies and it was an impossible task for her to accommodate to our wants and needs. However, she hit the ground running and exceeded our expectations.

Every detail covered for our large group!
Reviewed By Susan - Saint Joseph, MO | Traveled to Caribbean
Lisa handled every detail of our Marriage Getaway! Quickly she worked with us finding different options for our large group to travel together for a marriage getaway. Lisa handled the airfare, transportation to the cruise ship and the cruise. From deposits to final payments, she reminded us of deadlines for information and payments. She researched and found the perfect location in one of the ports for our group to gather and arranged for us to use the venue. Lisa is so knowledgeable and easy to work with, she answered all of our questions. We could not have made this trip happen without her!
Lisa Bodenhausen responded
"Susan, It was my pleasure to plan and assist with the Vow Renewal Cruise. Vow renewals are one of my favorite things to coordinate. Twenty five couples celebrating their marriage and saying "I DO---AGAIN!" was inspiring AND an honor to get to know each of them. And, Susan, you were absolutely amazing to work with. Looking forward to the next group! ~Lisa "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
