About
Hi there! We are the Elegante Travel Team, and we are so happy you stopped by!
We are passionate about creating memorable travel experiences, helping you discover the world, and celebrate everything that is out there to be enjoyed!
How it all Began
We all lived abroad (all different countries), and we came together with a passion to share life changing travel experiences.
At the heart of traveling is the desire for a change of atmosphere and mindset. There are so many different circumstances that instigate travel, and no matter the reason you should always make the most of it! Travel needs flexibility to discover, and structure to maximize your time. Elegante Travel was born from the desire to not create "one-size-fits-all" products while also giving people a resource to lean on to actually help them plan their trips. We are here to give them ideas that meet their wants, needs and budget instead of just scrolling through social media and reading "top" lists for different cities that they likely paid to be on.

Founder and Lead Travel Designer
Lisa Chin
I am the visionary behind Elegante Travel, and owner of Elegante Weddings and Events. I specialize in luxury travel surrounding milestone events for all ages and levels of travel experience.
I've been an entrepreneur, focused on the hospitality industry for nearly 15 years. During which time I have spent over a decade planning weddings for couples at venues all over the world. As the result, I am naturally detail oriented with a focus on guest experience, which reflects on our client's itineraries. I have a passion for orchestrating memorable travel experiences and putting clients at ease with a hands on approach.
Some of my favorite hotel-branded memberships include Belmond, Rosewood, Bulgari, Four Seasons Hotel & Resorts, Auberge, Ritz Carlton, Rocco Forte, and those unexpectedly incredible boutique hotels.

NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF
Puerto Vallarta. We just traveled there this fall. The food scene is amazing, the ocean life is plentiful, and we had an amazing adventure zip lining and repelling down waterfalls in the jungle.
Puglia, Italy. It is such an incredible and less known area of Italy that is rich in culture, beautiful beaches, endless burrata cheese, and one of my favorite red wines, Negroamaro.

Growing up in rural Michigan I knew a world existed beyond the cows my neighbors raised, and I began traveling in college. First to Europe and quickly expanding my footprints into Nepal and Zimbabwe. Now, I’ve had the privilege to travel the world, predominantly as a single female. I’ve been to places where the world seems to end. Had incredible, this can’t be real experiences, to gosh…I can’t wait for this to be a memory, moments, and I love all of it and the new perspectives travel offers.
I love to collaborate with clients to plan something amazing, unique, special, maybe even life changing, and then listening to all of the stories post travel. All the tiny details that made it what it was.
It’s a big world out there, and we’re excited to assist in navigating little slices of it with you.

NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF
Sahara Desert, Morocco. Getting to explore this breathtaking location by riding quads in the sand dunes was almost an out of body experience. It was thrilling and instilled true awe when taking in the surroundings.
Valdez, Alaska. Kayaking up to a glaciers with fresh ice floating by, bald eagles flying overhead, and sea lions playing next to you, surrounded by 360 panoramic views of the Mt's is a pretty good way to spend a day.
