Liz has been devouring National Geographic since the early ’90s, with an insatiable curiosity about different landscapes, cultures and points of view. Her first international trip — three weeks in Turkey — left her hooked on exploring, and for more than five years she has been planning travel for others for a living.
Of all the places she has been, Japan is the one she says you can visit over and over again — and every time, you bring a piece of it back with you. She admires the care and patience you encounter there, the attention to detail, and the thoughtfulness and trust that permeate everything.
Liz loves working with all types of travelers: first-timers, seasoned adventurers, couples, families, friend groups and multigenerational trips. She has planned immersive, adventurous trips to Alaska and Hawaii, romantic luxury honeymoons on the Amalfi Coast, and packed two-week Japan itineraries with time penciled in at the start to decompress — and she finds just as much joy in self-drives through the Scottish Highlands or along Ireland's winding coastal roads. Her fam trips have taken her to Italy, the UK, Ireland and Turkey.
Cherry blossoms or fall festivals
Cultural immersion is inevitable in Japan. First-timers can stick to Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka for a week or so; on a return trip, Liz pencils in Kanazawa, Takayama, Matsumoto and Hiroshima.
Bookend it with Lima
Liz would happily book another trip just to eat in Lima. From there, a short flight to Cusco and the Sacred Valley brings agriculture, landscapes and the epic site of Machu Picchu.
On land, in the air & on the water
First time? See the landscape by train. Flightsee and spot bears in summer, cruise past glaciers, whale watch, hike Denali — or come in winter to chase the northern lights.
Leave a bit of room for the unplanned
Let yourself be surprised — sometimes the most memorable moments happen in between all the plans.
