Mini bio
How it started.
Montreal-born Lisa bought her first DSLR before a six-week European trip in 2011. Her grandfather’s interest in photography had made her curious about cameras. In 2014, her first solo backpacking adventure through Southeast Asia stretched from weeks into months.
Finding her audience.
Instagram began as a visual diary for people back home. Lisa credits repeated visits to Bali and local accounts reposting her photographs with helping her audience grow in 2016. Her first paid press trip came in 2017. After meeting other bloggers on a Florida Keys trip, she launched her own blog and began treating her work as a business.
Traveling together.
Her guides bring photography and practical planning together, from choosing photo spots in Egypt to packing for Morocco. She also hosts group travel and photography retreats. In her 2023 Egypt guide, she reported hosting five retreats for 55 travelers across Mexico, Bali and Egypt in 2022. Her current travel page also invites women in the UAE to build friendships through local experiences.
