Travel Advisor
Elisa
I’m Elisa, a California native now calling Columbus, Ohio, home. I bring a relaxed approach to travel planning, blending thoughtful organization with flexibility, personality, and a genuine love for meaningful travel experiences.
Travel has always been deeply personal to me. After losing my sister, I found myself reflecting on some of our favorite memories, and so many of them happened while traveling together as a family. Growing up, our vacations were often camping trips with the occasional Disneyland visit, which taught me something I still believe today: meaningful travel doesn’t have to be elaborate or far away. It simply needs to create connection, joy, and lasting memories.
When we work together, I will help you plan a personalized vacation that feels exciting, meaningful, and never overwhelming. Whether you are a couple dreaming of an unforgettable European adventure, a group of friends looking for a relaxing cruise, or a family heading off on your first Disney vacation, I will be there every step of the way, helping create a getaway thoughtfully designed around your travel style, interests, and pace.
“When I’m not planning vacations, you can usually find me vintage shopping with my husband, Peter, volunteering, or being bossed around by our little black cat, Mädchen.”

My travel story
Places Elisa has loved
Some of my most meaningful memories were created while traveling with family, which is why I believe travel is about so much more than the destination. It is about connection, shared experiences, and the memories that stay with you long after you return home.
Planning With the Details in Mind
For me, thoughtful planning means looking beyond the big-picture pieces and thinking through the smaller details that can make your trip feel smoother, easier, and more enjoyable from the moment you arrive.
That might mean:
• checking how long it takes to get to your early morning tour
• finding the nearest coffee shop for your caffeine fix
• mapping transportation routes ahead of time
• deciding whether skip-the-line passes are worth the splurge (spoiler: they usually are)
Let’s take the stress out of the planning process, so you can head into your vacation feeling supported, excited, and confident.
A Collaborative Planning Experience
My approach is collaborative and tailored to your travel style, priorities, and pace. Whether you already know exactly where you want to go or need help narrowing down the possibilities, I am here to guide you through the process with personalized recommendations, honest advice, and thoughtful attention to detail.
We will probably be a good fit if:
• you value meaningful experiences
• you appreciate thoughtful planning and expert guidance
• you want personalized support without the overwhelm of planning everything yourself
• you are looking for a welcoming experience where you feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for
My goal is simple: thoughtful planning, meaningful travel, and a little fun along the way.
