Hlista

Hi! I am Liesel Hlista and I am a traveler to my very core. Many monumental moments in my life have been across the globe. I was born to military parents in Germany. And I lived in Panama and Korea before moving to the U.S. as a teen. I studied abroad in Spain in college, was a television host for a travel show on NatGeo People, got engaged on a safari in South Africa, married in Italy and I have taken my two kiddos everywhere that I can.

Some stand out trips have been journeying across Mongolia, climbing temples in Myanmar, scuba diving with sharks in the Philippines and I am always hunting for THE perfect beach. I have my personal top ten list! What started as a hobby planning ALL of my friends' trips has grown into a full-fledged passionate travel business. I love designing vacations and will make yours the trip of a lifetime. The memories made traveling are the ones that stick. I know my own children don't always remember what they got for Christmas, but they do remember spotting turtles in Belize, salsa dancing in Cuba and dancing with their Bula buddies in Fiji.

Enough about me! Where do YOU want to go? Let's make it happen. I am here to take the stress out of the planning and match you with your perfect vacation destination.
