Bite of the Travel Bug

Based on her personal journals, the Bite of the Travel Bug chronicles a young woman's adventures through both Australia and Africa. Following an inexplicable yearning, she bought a plane ticket, strapped on her backpack, and left behind a perfectly good life for the enticing unknown. Intriguing tales of her international exploits, as well as heartbreak and alluring new friendships are just part of these engrossing chronicles. Close calls of the wild kind, including tiger sharks on a desolate Australian beach, hippos in Lake Malawi, hyenas and lions in the African bush, including more sobering moments with African militia and their weaponry will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more.
Galavanting Goddess is a series of travel memoirs following one woman's highly unconventional life path. Verging on the edge of chaotic abandon, these life chronicles exude pure entertainment, occasional turmoil, and an unquestionable trust in the process.

Growing up in New Jersey as the black sheep of six kids, there is no Earthly reason why Lisa took such a unique life path. Along with crazy international adventures, she was also a sea kayak guide in Alaska, a chef for over two decades, and renovated an 1820's farmhouse on an island in Vermont. She is now "settling down" to build a house on a mountainside in Colorado at 8200 ft with her partner-in-crime and fur babies.
