My Story
A travel industry veteran of over 15 years, I like to think of myself as a global citizen as I’ve had the opportunity to live and work across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. My goal is to take the stress out of your travel planning so you can create unforgettable memories.
Travel Style
I’m really passionate about discovering something new everyday as this is what drives me. When I visit a destination, I do like the locals do, in a way that allows me to immerse myself into the culture.
My specialty is milestone celebration vacations, from getting proposed to in Sri Lanka, to getting married in the Philippines, celebrating an anniversary in Singapore and endlessly celebrating milestone events and anniversaries in unique destinations around the world.
I’ve coordinated and experienced celebration milestone events across Oman, Thailand, Seychelles, Dubai, Ghana, Italy, Cape Town among others.

Lola is amazing! She provided support throughout the booking process - her attention to detail is impeccable and things didn’t stop with the planning - She checked in with us to make sure that things were as expected when we arrived.

Lola was excellent and actually the booking done by her with intercontinental was the most memorable experience of my trip! Lola ensured all booking was done in good time and was very timely with her communication. Arrived earlier than check in time with my little daughter and she ensured we got a room ready for us on arrival. She was also super polite and very helpful. In general, the hotel was also very good. We got a nice plate of fruits and desserts on arrival. Staff in general were polite and very helpful. Will definitely be back in the near future!
