I use my firsthand travel experiences to make sure that every aspect of their experience exceeds their expectations." 037 Worked at Holbrook Travel since: 1990 Born: Long Island, New York, but grew up in the Florida Keys Lisa says she was sucked into the world of travel by Holbrook Travel and there was no looking back. She has visited 18 countries, and considers Ecuador one of her favorite places because of the rich Andean culture, the breathtaking scenery and the beautiful blue water, and the snorkeling and sea lions on the Galápagos. "I enjoy helping people in general. I really enjoy helping people become immersed in the local culture of the country they are visiting and helping them to fulfill dreams like swimming with sea lions or seeing wild elephants up close. So many aspects of travel have changed my life and I love that every day I can help others to experience the same." Her hobbies include spending time with her family and being a mom to her daughter.
