Lisa Hooghkirk
TRAVEL ADVISOR
For over 20 years Lisa has been fortunate enough to travel along with her clients by planning their dream adventures and travels throughout the world. She found her love of travel at an early age and has loved being part of the industry helping people enjoy life, relax, and explore new experiences.
Lisa studied Travel and Tourism in college and landed a job at the first and oldest travel agency on Long Island, NY, after graduation, which she was able to become the owner of. She was able to continue her journey booking high end leisure travel for the residents of Southampton, NY and surrounding areas. Lisa loved living vicariously through her clients while they enjoyed Antarctica, African safaris, Europe, and the Caribbean. During this time, her parents lived on Anguilla, BWI, and was able to gain extensive knowledge of the Caribbean by traveling throughout the islands with family. After moving our family to Virginia, Lisa was able to secure a Travel position with the Largest Travel Organization in the US where she was given the opportunity to explore corporate travel and developed a love for the fast paced, ever changing world of business travel.
Her greatest love is spending time with my family and if they are traveling together, better yet. They love the beach and all things summer, traveling to the mountains, and especially love to experience the magic of the "happiest place on earth", Disney. Seeing the joy of travel and new experiences through the eyes of her grandchildren is the greatest gift.
Her excellent organizational skills and attention to detail will make your travel adventures a breeze so you can spend more time doing the things you love with the people that mean the most!
