Hi, I'm Lisa :) I'm obsessed with nature, my family, and dog Zeus.
In 2023 I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine - a journey that changed my life forever. Today, I create experiences for others so they too can experience what it is like to be "wild and free" and gain a deeper connection to the natural world.
I'm an experienced host with multiple 5 star rated properties across the Eastern US. I work very hard to create wellness experiences where you leave feeling more joy and peace than when you arrived.
To new adventures, Lisa
