Meet your travel planner
Hi, I’m Asia - travel advisor, foodie, and your personal passport to the world.
For over a decade, I’ve been helping curious travelers turn “someday” in to “booked”. From the cobblestone streets of Europe to the sun-soaked coastlines of Australia and New Zealand, to the vibrant chaos and charm of Southeast Asia, I’ve explore 25+ countries (and counting!) and love sharing that firsthand knowledge with my clients.
This isn’t just a job for me, it’s my calling. I believe travel has the power to change lives, and I’m here to make it easy, exciting, and deeply personal. Whether you’re chasing the Northern Lights, planning a luxurious river cruise, or finally checking Antarctica off your bucket list, I’ll build you a tailor-made itinerary that fits your style, your pace, and your budget. I take care of every detail - from flights and hotels to insider tips and emergency back-up, so all you have to do is enjoy your vacation!
When I’m not traveling, you’ll find me hiking the trails of Arizona with my husband and our three dogs, probably daydreaming about my next trip!
Asia Lantz: Your passport to adventure
How I Became a Travel Advisor
I didn’t grow up flying first class or staying at luxury resorts. Travel was something I discovered in books long before I ever boarded a plane. In 2015, I left a corporate job in the beauty industry that had me crying on my way to work more often than not. I knew I needed something different and meaningful. That “something” turned out to be travel.
I got my start at Liberty Travel in New Jersey, where I was extensively trained and fortunate to have an incredible mentor with 30+ years in the industry who taught me everything from ticketing logistics to what makes a trip truly unforgettable. Under her guidance, I learned how to deliver concierge-level service and craft trips that went far beyond booking flights and hotels.
Later, I joined GOGO Vacations’ long-haul department, working behind the scenes to create complex itineraries across Asia, Africa, and the South Pacific. This gave me insider access to destination specialists and tour operators around the globe - connections I still use today to give my clients exclusive perks and seamless experiences.
In 2020, I went fully independent, launching Travel with Asia to offer the concierge-level service, real relationships, and a deep love of the world. I’m now proud to be a Verified Travel Advisor through the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA), where I stay involved with industry advocacy and continuing education. I’ve also been quoted in national publications, spoken on travel podcasts, and most importantly: planned hundreds of trips for people who wanted more than a basic online booking.
