Once Again, Lisa Created the Trip of a Lifetime.
I first met Lisa about ten years ago, and since then she has taken me near and far around this incredible world of ours. This trip we went from California to Costa Rica, then the absolutely stunning Galápagos with Chimu Tours only 20 passengers, which made it feel so special — and finally Mexico, every part of this seven-week journey was thoughtfully planned.
Mexico was a beautiful finish. We stayed first on an island, which was exactly the peaceful “Red and Andy from The Shawshank Redemption” feeling I had hoped for simple, beautiful, and unforgettable. The accommodation was in a well-established family business, and the location was just perfect.
One of the highlights was a tour to the pyramids, followed by lunch where they had organised a piñata for my birthday. It was such a personal and joyful surprise. Later, when I said, “No, I’m going back to Puerto Vallarta,” Lisa helped make that happen too, and we ended up staying there for ten wonderful days.
This trip also brought me back to my trusty camera, to storytelling through photos, and to a passion I had been missing. I documented the whole journey on Polarsteps, and looking back, I can see how much care went into every detail.
I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. I never need to worry about a thing — I just get on the plane and everything is taken care of. She listens, understands the kind of experience I’m hoping for, and often adds little secrets from her own travels that she thinks I’ll enjoy — things I hadn’t even thought of. And yes, some of those have become the absolute highlights.
Thank you, Lisa, for helping create such an unforgettable journey. And yes, I already have another trip planned in just four weeks — Paris and Amsterdam. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.
