Lizzie Semmer
Lizzie was raised in both Chicago and Los Angeles. She went to the University of Vermont to receive a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and later onto receive her Masters in Education from DePaul University. After receiving her Masters she taught Kindergarten in Manhattan Beach for ten years. Lizzie believes that traveling is the world’s greatest teacher. Putting yourself in a new country, experiencing new cultures, tasting new foods, and exploring unknown territory provide life’s greatest lessons. And in today’s information age, when everyone has access to thousands of options of things to do and eat, Lizzie understands luxury travelers need the best itineraries to never return home having missed something.
Lizzie’s love for traveling started in high school when she embarked on a teen summer adventure camp to Australia. On that first trip she became a PADI Open Water Diver and took her first certified dive in The Great Barrier Reef… At night to search for sharks! Lizzie continued her adventures the following summer swimming with penguins and seals in the Galapagos Islands while trekking to spot Blue Footed Boobies in their natural habitat. Lizzie further explored the world through Semester at Sea which introduced her to twelve countries, many of which she later returned to explore.
While growing up in Chicago, Lizzie’s mother owned a chocolate shop, so every trip Lizzie takes, she makes sure to stop in local chocolate shops and taste the chocolates like Arcadia in Porto, Portugal.
Lizzie is excited to help your family build memories that will last for a lifetime. She believes experiences are the greatest gift you can give to your children.
During her free time you can find Lizzie sailing on the Pacific Ocean, riding a beach cruiser on the bike path, or setting the table and cooking a meal to enjoy with friends.
