Naome doesn’t have a passion for travel - her passion IS travel. Years of searching for a ‘hobby’ led her to the realisation that her work and her hobby is travel.

Lisa Cheso classes herself as a 'gadabout', someone who travels often or to many different places for pleasure! Lisa lives for travel. She concluded her tenure in a farming business in 2007 and transitioned to a travel consultant where she dreams, talks, thinks and, of course, plans a lot of travel - not just for herself but for her customers who share those travel dreams. 

Since she started travelling in her early 20s, Lisa discovered that the world is such an interesting place. Now, every journey she takes and every trip she plans for clients adds to her extensive repertoire of travel adventures. While she's only touched parts of the big wide world, having been to 39 countries and counting, Lisa's favourite destination is Europe and Morocco. The culture, history and architecture never fail to amaze. 

Lisa's most memorable holiday was to Namibia and South Africa. The stunning landscape in Namibia is something to see, and the experience of an African safari is a must. Being within a few feet of animals while on a walk looking for rhino or lions was thrilling and seeing the Big 5 is a definite bucket list tick!

There is a Swedish term 'resfeber' which refers to the restless race of a traveller’s heart before the journey begins, a tangled feeling of fear and excitement. This is Lisa every time and she puts it down to a sense of excitement for the unknown and what she will find on her next adventure. 

To contact Lisa directly, please email lisa@argyletravel.com.au and together you can plan your adventure.
