Lisa Crawford

House of Travel Lower Hutt

My love of languages and exploring the world has naturally evolved into a career in travel. I enjoy discovering what motivates your travels and tailoring your trip to suit your own style and interests.

I have travelled extensively across Europe and lived abroad both in the UK and Paraguay. Recent travel highlights include cruising Hawaii’s Islands and experiencing the best of Washington DC.

My special interest is in cruising, from the world’s largest floating resorts to casually cruising Europe’s rivers or the more adventurous Expedition ships to the Antarctic. There is a cruise possibility for every personality and preference!

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to get the most out of your next adventure.

As an experienced travel consultant with over 9 years in the industry, I bring a wealth of expertise and a genuine passion for exploring the world. My career has been shaped by a commitment to helping others create unforgettable journeys, fueled by my own love for adventure.

In early 2024, I achieved a lifelong dream by traveling to Antarctica—a testament to my adventurous spirit and firsthand knowledge of unique, bucket-list destinations. Whether you're seeking a serene retreat, a cultural immersion, or an epic expedition, my global insights and personalised approach ensure every journey is as inspiring as it is seamless.

Our lives are defined by experience, when we travel we open up an array of new experiences to be had. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to assist others with their own leisure holidays or bucket list adventures.
