About Lisa
Travel is more than my profession—it's my passion. Helping my clients turn their travel dreams into unforgettable memories is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. With more than 40 years of experience in the travel industry, I have had the privilege of planning vacations and special events for travelers from all walks of life.
As a full-service Foreign and Domestic Travel Specialist, I specialize in cruises, all-inclusive resorts, group travel, destination weddings, honeymoons, corporate travel, family vacations, solo adventures, guided tours, and special occasions. Whether you're planning a bachelor or bachelorette getaway, spa retreat, casino trip, golf vacation, reunion, or anniversary celebration, I handle every detail. I also provide hotel accommodations, airfare, train travel, car rentals, and complete vacation packages, making your planning process simple and stress-free.
As an independently owned affiliate of Avoya Travel, I offer the buying power of one of the industry's most respected travel organizations while providing the personalized attention and service of a dedicated travel advisor. My clients enjoy competitive pricing, exclusive offers, and the confidence of having an experienced professional available whenever they need assistance. I proudly provide support before, during, and after your trip, and I'm available when you need me most.
My mission is simple: to help you travel in style while staying within your budget. I work diligently to secure the best value, pricing, and availability, ensuring your vacation exceeds your expectations from the moment you begin planning until you return home with incredible memories.
Group travel is one of my greatest passions and specialties. Whether you're organizing a family reunion, destination wedding, milestone birthday, corporate retreat, church group, club getaway, or friends' vacation, I coordinate every detail so everyone can relax and enjoy the experience together.
I also specialize in corporate incentive and reward travel programs. By creating customized travel experiences tailored to your company's goals and budget, I help businesses recognize and reward their employees in meaningful ways. Incentive travel is a powerful tool for boosting morale, encouraging healthy competition, and creating lasting motivation—all while giving your team an unforgettable experience.
When you book with me, you're not just another reservation—you're part of my travel family. I am committed to providing exceptional customer service, expert guidance, and personalized attention every step of the way. Whether you're dreaming of your first cruise, a luxury escape, a bucket-list adventure, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, I'll work tirelessly to make your travel experience seamless, memorable, and truly extraordinary.
Let's start planning your next adventure—I can't wait to help make your travel dreams a reality!
Travel Adventures
My love for travel began when I was just nine years old. My mom became a travel agent to earn a little extra income while times were tough and my dad was the sole provider for our family. From an early age, I learned the ins and outs of the travel industry and was fortunate to build lasting relationships with some of the world's top travel suppliers and executives.
As I explored new destinations and sailed to incredible places around the globe, I realized I wanted to help others experience the same joy, excitement, and unforgettable memories that travel had given me. My goal has always been more than simply booking a vacation—it's about creating the vacation of a lifetime while providing exceptional, personalized service. I believe every client deserves to be treated like family, and I take great pride in making each trip as seamless and memorable as possible.
Over the years, I have built a reputation based on trust, strong relationships, and outstanding customer service—something that has exceeded anything I could have imagined.
Today, I have reached an exciting milestone: my 97th cruise! Cruising has become my favorite way to explore the world. From Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean to the Panama Canal, Hawaii, and the beautiful Caribbean islands, cruises allow you to experience multiple destinations in one unforgettable journey. I often describe cruising as a "sampler platter" for the world—you can discover which destinations you'd like to return to for a longer stay, all while enjoying an incredible value.
Of course, all-inclusive resorts are another wonderful vacation option. They offer the convenience of one price that covers nearly everything, making it easy to relax and enjoy your getaway.
Some of my favorite souvenirs aren't things at all—they're the photographs and memories I've collected over the years. Looking back at those moments reminds me why I love helping others create their own unforgettable adventures.
Whether you're planning your first getaway, your dream cruise, a relaxing all-inclusive escape, or the trip you've always imagined, I would love the opportunity to help make it happen.

Reviews
This is our 4th cruise we have booked with Lisa through Avoya & she has made it extremely easy & when we have had problems arise she has solved them quickly so we can just relax & enjoy. I'm a control freak & she balances me out & doesn't make me feel like I'm being a bother. I recommend her to everyone & therefore Avoya!- Sabrina K.
Lisa is amazing. Love her.- Ryan D.
Lisa has been so thoughtful and helpful with planning my cruises. She is quick, effiicient and extremely friendly and conscientious. I have really appreciated her help with our special vacation planning. Our upcoming Mediterranean cruise she booked for us for June 15, 2019 on Celebrity is our 50 th anniversary cruise. I did not tell her this detail and probably should have.- Maureen H.
Our agent, Lisa Shindler was very helpful a year ago when we booked our 50th anniversary Panama Canal cruise, and has stayed in touch with us ever since. On our way to the cruise we drove through Tampa, where Lisa was, and she met with us and took us to lunch. Because of Lisa's help and kindness we have looked to Lisa to help us find our next cruise.- Thomas J.
We have already made referrals. I took a photo of our agent's business card so that I can text and email it to friends and family! Lisa provides us with excellent customer service and she is always accessible!- Jill C.
