Meet Lindsey
Travel Planning Shaped by Experience, Curiosity and Care
Lindsey spent years as a teacher before becoming a travel advisor, and she still plans the way good teachers work: anticipating questions before they're asked and shaping every detail around the person in front of her.
Her specialty is multi-city international travel, where the moves between destinations matter as much as the destinations themselves. Her own trips through Japan taught her how to make the Shinkansen feel effortless instead of overwhelming. Time in Italy, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium shaped how she plans for clients anywhere in Europe, pacing each day around the heat, the light, and the long lunches worth lingering over.
She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and three teens, and whether she's traveling as a family of five or slipping away for a food and wine getaway for two, she knows it's the details handled quietly in the background that make a trip feel easy.

Travel With Firsthand Perspective
Japan
Firsthand experience, from Tokyo to Kyoto.
A personal trip through Tokyo and Kyoto helped shape Japan as one of Lindsey's specialties. Today, she plans Japan trips with firsthand knowledge of the practical details that can make the experience feel easier - from etiquette and useful apps to seasonal timing and getting around.
Europe
Planning around how you actually want to travel.
Time spent in Italy, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium has shaped Lindsey's approach to European travel. She also plans trips across Ireland, the UK, Portugal, and the rest of the continent.
The Meaning Behind
Your trip should follow your own path.
The name Merivia comes from two roots: meridian, the line that circles the globe and marks an exact point in time and place, and via, the Latin word for way or road.
That's the idea behind Merivia and behind how every trip gets planned here.
Your trip is its own line across the world, plotted around where you actually want to go -not a route pulled off someone else's map.
Your next journey starts with a conversation.
Whether you're dreaming about Japan, planning a multi-city European trip, or simply want someone else to handle the details, every great trip starts with a conversation.
