A note from Dr. Lisa

Hello! I’m Lisa – The TravelDocta! I’m a practicing psychologist and a certified travel coach, who has traveled to over 100 countries, all 50 United States, and all 7 continents.

I'm not special - I'm determined.

Over the past few years, traveling has become a major part of my identity. I use travel to push myself outside of my comfort zone, and because I am constantly thinking about “what I have to do next,” I intentionally look for ways to stay grounded and present.

When I return from a trip, I usually feel grounded, refreshed, renewed, and ready to return to work.

I have mastered the art of maximizing the limited time that I have for international travel. My objective is to help other Black Professional Women maximize their limited time off, embrace their desire for international travel, overcome stereotypes and others’ expectations of them, push beyond their professional and family identities, explore ways to be grounded, and explore life outside of their comfort zone. Click on the video above to learn more.

If you feel like you dedicate more time and energy to your work and your family than you do to yourself, you’re not alone! If you would like to shift that balance to put yourself first, and you want to incorporate international travel in that shift, but you are not sure where or how to start, then please schedule a complimentary 20-minute consultation with me.

Once you have made a decision to invite me on your travel journey, we will meet for virtual one-hour, 1-on-1 coaching sessions, either weekly or bi-weekly, through the entire planning process. In addition, there will be opportunities for check-ins while you are on your trip, and a follow-up meeting upon your return.

I look forward to helping you Elevate Your Travel Experience!

Travel Coaching Testimonials

Over the last 10+ years, Lisa has organized several trips that I have had the pleasure of joining her on. Her planning has begun as far out as a year in advance, with timely and informative emails sent at regular intervals prior to the departure date. While well-versed in the details of traveling herself, she makes a point of ensuring those less traveled are aware of both necessary and helpful information. This includes advice on the best time to purchase airline tickets, reminders on visa / passport requirements, and advocating the benefits of trip insurance. Lisa’s extensive travel experience has left her with a gold mine of information for those interested in seeking it.

Lisa Pittman is a consummate traveler, having toured over 100 countries. Reading her travel blogs, it is apparent that Lisa does her pre-travel research into travel entry requirements, countries' cultures, and histories. She makes the most of her time while "on the ground," experiencing local life and touring important historical sites and distinctive geographical features. Anyone considering working with a travel coach would do very well working with Lisa.

Lisa, having traveled to 100+ countries and counting, is my go-to source for any travel-related question I may have, from the best current travel deals to the most efficient routes to take. Having traveled with her, I can say that her attention to detail is second to none. I was able to truly relax on vacation, as she had thoughtfully taken care of all the arrangements well in advance.
