About Me
Lyre Visorro
The Travel Pro
The moment I first set foot in Europe when I was 21, I fell in love with travel and found my calling. At the time, I was working in a different industry. However, my great passion for travel and interest in other cultures inevitably led me to change my career into the travel industry. I wanted my every day to involve travel and if I was not travelling myself, I wanted to help others with theirs. After many years of working for several prestigious travel companies where I gained invaluable experience, I took a leap of faith and founded my own travel business, Journeys by LyreV (JLV for short).
During my tenure in the travel industry, my range of experience and expertise encompasses many areas including corporate travel, retail, airline GSA, and consolidation, but it is designing bespoke journeys that I love most. I thrive in creating tailor-made trips that suit my clients’ specific interests, travel dreams and budgets. I craft every itinerary with care and attention, as if it were my own, and I strive to curate the ultimate journey every time.
Regardless of your purpose for travel, be it a business trip, a weekend getaway, a round the world odyssey, a luxury escape, or some other reason, it is my objective to design a trip that is personalised and a perfect fit for you. I will do my utmost to ensure that each journey you take is wonderful, memorable, and leaves you wanting to travel more.
The Traveller
Since that first trip in Europe, I have made it my personal quest to explore as much of the world as possible. So far, my thirst for knowledge, discovery, and exploration has led me to journey to 116 countries and territories (and counting), all 7 continents, and both polar regions. I have also lived in 6 countries in 4 continents.
This wealth of travel knowledge and experience gives me a unique insight into a diverse range of travel destinations and the logistics of getting there and being there. Coupled with my constant pursuit to learn about different countries and other cultures, I can certainly assist you with the whats, wheres, whens, whys, and hows for each journey.
Luxury Travel Specialist
Over the years, having worked at many travel companies that cater for the discerning traveller, I have developed solid relationships with global industry suppliers, from hoteliers to local tour operators and travel guides, to cruise and airline representatives. This extensive network of contacts enables me to open doors that others normally cannot access, and provides my clients VIP experiences, added amenities, and more.
As an independent affiliate of Savenio, I am part of the exclusive world of Virtuoso and have preferred partnerships with some of the most elite invitation-only hotel programmes in the travel industry. Through these partnerships, my clients can avail of exclusive complimentary perks and upgrades, simply by booking with me.
Adventure Travel Specialist, Curator of Unique Travel Experiences
As a traveller, I often seek the roads less travelled. I have journeyed to many remote lands, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, from the wilds of Africa to the untamed lands along the Andes, from nomadic desert settlements to picturesque hamlets in rural Europe. This is the kind of travel that is closest to my heart and I have the most personal experience in.
Also, as a member of Virtuoso Adventure Travel Community, I receive regular product training and updates on the various luxury adventure, active, specialty, and experiential travel options out there.
For clients who seek unique travel experiences, wow moments, and encounters that leave you speechless - contact me, and let me design the perfect fit journey for you.

The world is vast. The travel possibilities are endless. Your journey awaits.
Where I've Been So Far
"I haven't been everywhere but it's on my list."
Here is a snapshot of the places that I have travelled to so far - all 7 continents, both polar regions, 116 countries and territories (and counting). Whilst there are many elements to being an excellent travel designer, the advantages of having someone with extensive travel experience, who has "been there", is far-reaching. Let me help you add more pins to your own travel map.
