About Lisa
Hi, I’m Lisa! I usually travel with my husband, and often with our teenage kids. Aside from a full-time career for over 20 years, what I truly loved to do in my spare time was plan trips and vacation getaways.
I started this blog because whenever I shared stories about our travels – the savvy tips, hidden gems and unexpected discoveries I found along the way – friends would always ask for my hotel picks, itinerary or help with planning their own trip.
That’s because I do a TON of research before I travel, trying to figure out how to make every dollar I spend lead to a memory that’s truly worth it.
That has helped me travel the world – France, Spain, Italy (which keeps luring me back), London, Turkey, Bahamas, Cuba, USA (New York, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, California, New Orleans) and Canada (Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Ontario) and a lot of vacations with my kids when they are on school break to warm winter destinations including Florida, Mexico and Dominican Republic.
My philosophy is simple – to find value for your travel dollar. We all work hard to afford travel, so the trips you take should feel worth the money you spend.
That’s why I focus on experiences that truly deliver – whether it’s a hole-in-the-wall eatery offering unforgettable local flavour on a dime or a splurge-worthy experience. My goal is to help you make the most of your hard-earned travel dollars.
No gatekeeping here – it brings me joy to share with you some of my discoveries along the way. And you’ll often find me here in my trusty sun hat, part skin protection (hello, midlife!) and part travel style. Welcome to Savvy Travel Life !
