ABOUT ME

Crafting Dreams. Curating Luxury. Your Personal Journey Architect.

Welcome! I'm Lisa Matera — a passionate architect of bespoke travel experiences and your dedicated luxury travel advisor based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

With a deep love for the world and an eye for the extraordinary, I design tailor-made journeys that are as unique as the people who take them. I specialize in turning your travel dreams into beautifully curated realities—blending adventure, culture, relaxation, and elegance into seamless itineraries.

Imagine a champagne toast at sunset on a secluded beach… discovering secret corners of ancient cities… or unwinding in the world’s most exclusive retreats. Whether you're craving culinary indulgence, private yacht charters, or behind-the-scenes cultural encounters, I ensure every detail reflects your personal style and highest expectations.

Every journey I plan is a thoughtfully orchestrated experience—designed to inspire, indulge, and elevate. I’m here to guide you through the world of refined exploration, offering insider access, trusted partnerships, and white-glove service from the first spark of an idea to your safe return home.

Your extraordinary journey begins with a conversation—and becomes a masterpiece.

​

With personal travel to over 40 countries, I bring first-hand insight and a global network to every itinerary I design. Some of my most treasured experiences include:

• Exploring my ancestral roots in Italy—including the breathtaking city of Matera, a true hidden gem

• Tracking mountain gorillas in the misty jungles of Rwanda

• Shopping vibrant souks and staying in romantic riads behind the ancient walls of Morocco

• Watching the sun dip below the Sahara Desert from a luxurious Bedouin tent

• Spotting leopards and elephants in Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park

• Camel trekking through the lost city of Petra

• Diving with manta rays and sharks in the turquoise waters of the Maldives

• Waking up to the mystical beauty of Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania

• Hiking to Tiger’s Nest Monastery in spiritual Bhutan

• Trekking the dramatic Salkantay Pass en route to Machu Picchu

• Floating above the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia in a hot air balloon

…And the list continues to grow.

If you’re ready to travel beyond the ordinary—and into the extraordinary—I'm here to craft the journey of a lifetime, just for you.
