Culinary, wellness, and group travel specialist

Travel has been a passion of mine all my life.  Are you also someone who craves exploring and relaxing in new places, meeting people, sampling the local cuisine, learning about the culture, enjoying the surroundings, and staying fit?  Or do you simply want to get away from the demands of everyday life to spend time focusing on yourself, your body-mind-spirit, or your relationship with someone special?  If so, I’d love to help you make your travel dreams a reality.


In business since 2008, my expertise is in culinary and wellness travel, active vacations, group travel, and river cruising.  Do you want a special dinner, a cooking lesson, a wine, tea, whiskey, or chocolate tour, a hiking or biking trip, rainforest canopy tour, spa day, a week-long holistic health retreat, a yoga or spiritual retreat, spa getaway, or fitness program?  I can arrange it.  I’m a destination specialist for Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, Italy, Southern France. 


I also specialize in group travel.   Whether for a small group of friends, a family reunion, or a business or charity event, I know how to pull it together seamlessly.  If you’re the host, you can be the star and I’ll take care of the details behind the scenes. 

What I offer is personalized attention, value, and experiences customized to your needs and interests.  I believe that travel is about immersive experiences, learning, relationships, and cultural understanding.


I’ll work on your behalf with an extensive network of travel professionals, suppliers, and tour operators to offer you exciting destinations and exceptional service.  I do research, make recommendations based on your needs and budget, advocate for you with suppliers, handle planning and arrangements, check whether you have what you need, and welcome you home with a phone call to find out how it all turned out.  That means you can relax and spend your valuable time dreaming about what you’ll be doing on vacation or with your group, knowing all arrangements have been taken care of.

What my clients have said about working with me

Winery in Provence, France
Winery in Provence, France

Before booking my trip to Costa Rica in December with my two sons, ages 23 and 25, I read countless forums on TripAdvisor, scanned the Costa Rica tourism website, and kept the Lonely Planet guide by my nightstand. And then I called Lynn. So glad I did! She helped me navigate the maze of information overload. She coordinated tours, transportation and hotels at a reasonable price (compared to other sample itineraries I strung together from various sources). During the process and after, she promptly returned my calls. I also knew that if anything went wrong, she could help me out. Even if you do your own homework when it comes to travel, I highly recommend engaging Lynn in the process.  Sheryl Rich-Kern, NH

Lynn made everything so easy!

Reviewed By Shell - Cape Coral, FL | Traveled to Caribbean
There were six of us taking this cruise, 2 couples and 2 singles in 3 different parts of the country, 3 different time zones, using 4 different forms of payment - and Lynn made it work. She booked us in 3 rooms, side by side, on a cruise. Her experience and discernment for the location of the rooms was terrific. This was my second cruise, and 3 others' first, and her advice, planning efforts and help made it an extremely enjoyable trip for us all. I look forward to working with Lynn again - she just made everything easy, and I couldn't be more grateful.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Lynn Lee responded:
Shell and Leland, it was such a pleasure to arrange this cruise for you and your friends. Thank you for your confidence in me and for your kind words. I'd be delighted to help with your future vacations.

A Joyful Family Adventure

Reviewed By Judy - Washington, DC | Traveled to Mexico
Lynn Lee of Sparkling Life Journeys recently helped us plan a family trip to Mexico for 14, ranging in age from 4 to 73 (including 4 family members joining us from London), in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. She began the planning by asking terrific questions about what we hoped for on our celebration journey, then listening carefully to our responses.

Whether our flights, transport, hotel, or an exciting mid-trip expedition, Lynn always considered our family's broad range of ages and interests as she carefully arranged every detail of our Cancun trip. While we were in Mexico, Lynn made herself available by phone in case we had any questions or issues that needed to be resolved. She also made herself available to our sons during the planning phase as well as while we were in Mexico. She even sent my husband and I a surprise Happy Anniversary flower arrangement that welcomed us to our lovely hotel suite.

We highly recommend Lynn Lee for creative trip planning.

Another Great Trip with Lynn!

Reviewed By Matt - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to
We have worked with Lynn now for our third trip in two years. This trip was another fantastic experience down to the last detail. Lynn helped us plan the perfect amount of time so that we got to see Boston, Plymouth, Cape Code, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard AND Newport all in a week. Not only is she an expert at finding the best places to stay and ways to get there, she goes above and beyond to make each place memorable with free upgrades, the best rooms and views, and special gifts. We can't wait to plan the next trip to with Lynn!

Stress free planning, relaxing trip

Reviewed By Grant - Baltimore, MD | Traveled to Saint Lucia ~ St. Kitts and Nevis ~ Caribbean
Lynn helped us with a trip to Saint Lucia for our honeymoon. We were overwhelmed with planning for the wedding and it was great leaving the honeymoon up to her. After listening to all our wishes for the trip she helped us narrow down to St Lucia, book, find a few day trips to do and let us know when they were on sale, and when payments were due. The flights changed up at some point and it was nice not having to deal with it, Lynn was on the phone with the resort and airlines working it out. She dealt with everything and let us just enjoy the ride.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Lynn Lee responded:
Thank you for the positive review, Grant and Amanda. It was a pleasure arranging your honeymoon. I'm so glad everything worked out and exceeded your expectations.

Helped us narrow down where and what!

Reviewed By Ms K - Londonderry, NH | Traveled to
Having spent a lot of time in San Jose Costa Rica, I hadn't done much venturing far from the city. We only had a few days and an entire country before us. Lynn helped us narrow things down, helped us pick an area to go, lined up our hotel and tours based on what we liked and we couldn't have done better. The honestly and trustworthiness of the hotel staff and the tour operators Lynn booked us with are beyond compare, as evidenced by a coordinated return of a purse with my wallet that I had left behind when we checked out of our hotel. The hotel wrapped my purse discretely, the tour operators arranged for it to be driven to me at an arranged place in the San Jose area 3 hours away and no one asked for anything in return. (Of course, we tipped generously) My purse, wallet, ID, cash, cards, all intact. Thank you Lynn, for arranging our trip, the venues and operators that you choose to deal with are A+ in my book.

Lynn Lee responded:
Thanks so much, Karen! I'd be honored to work with you and Steven again. (I just saw this review waiting for a response from me, which I thought I provided back then -- system reset, I guess!)

Lynn made our trip possible, in a short notice!!

Reviewed By Responsive - Goffstown, NH | Traveled to
I met Lynn Lee while working at Goffstown High School. She had come to the school to see my work partner, who had used Lynn's travel services. Several years after that my husband and I decided to take a vacation. I called Lynn, expressed to her that we wanted to go somewhere warm and all-inclusive. She suggested a few places. Next thing I knew we were going to Turks & Caicos. Wow what a spectacular island. We loved it and the weather was terrific. Last February I called Lynn and told her a vacation would be in my plans. Another all-inclusive, this time we stayed in the United States, Sandpiper Bay, Club Med. All I can say is another wonderful vacation!!! Lynn Lee is the best. She works tirelessly to get you the vacation you want.

Lynn Lee responded:
Linda, it was a privilege to arrange this for you and Rick. Thank you.
