I’m in a new chapter of my personal life. I wanted and needed my travel experiences to reflect a profound transformation that was taking place, but I didn’t know exactly how to achieve a trip that could do this. I’m in my 40s. I’m not on a college gap year, I’m not part of a group, and I was planning to travel alone for the first time.

Enter Lana and Elevate Destinations. She had the wisdom, insight, knowledge, experience and compassion to guide me down the path to the perfect trip to match where I was in my life. She knew this wasn’t a vacation, but in a lot of ways a healing journey.

No detail was left to chance, she took care of every logistical detail eliminating all the worry, she paired me with the perfect hotels and excursions and the volunteer work that filled my soul in a ways I didn’t know possible.

— Stefanie Lerner, Costa Rica

All the guides were amazing and super knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed travel near Arenal. It was very beautiful and the adventures were very informative. Costa Rica is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and if you want to be immersed in wildlife it is definitely the place to go.

— Leah Donehy, Costa Rica
