Lisa Barnes

Specialising in tailor made itineraries: Long Haul, Cruising-Med, Caribbean & Nile! Skiing in the Andes(not very well!), Weddings-especially in Mauritius!

Having worked in travel for over 20 years and spent time in different roles including cruise consultant, business travel, foreign exchange & a short stint as a home worker, I have knowledge and understanding of travel and love to share my passion and enthusiasm with my customers.

In my career I have been lucky enough to travel to many varied and interesting locations accros the Globe, sampling first hand what each destination has to offer, which is invaluable in terms of providing advice and tailoring travel plans to suit individual needs. I have many memorable experiences to share, however amongst my favourite are night trekking in Thailand(sleeping up tree!), my visit to the snowy Andes, riding with the Gauchos in Argentina, diving with dolphins in Isreal and being a Big Kid at Disney in Florida!

I have also been lucky enough to be involved in arranging Weddings in Europe, Africa, the caribbean & Indian Ocean. It is a geat priveledge to be involved in planning a couple's Big Day - discussing the right destination, time of year and even time of day for the best photographs!

I really enjoy my job and over the years have retained many loyal customers and made some great friends. Being an AITO Specialist agent we also have access to a wide range of Specilaist operators not available through all travel providers and over the years I have also built up a close relationship with many operators for whom nothing is too much truoble and will go that extra mile.
