“I had a client tell me recently that she does reflection every year on who influenced her most, and she listed my name in the top three. She said the experiences and adventures I had planned for her have been transformational in countless ways.”

Elizabeth spent the first ten years of her career producing commercials for some of the biggest brands and advertising agencies around the world, with her work taking her across North America, South America, the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. It was while working with overseas clients and local film crews in places far from home that Elizabeth realized the kind of meaningful change that can take place when you spend time experiencing cultures different from your own. As a dual citizen of the UK, Elizabeth was born in London and spent her early years there before moving stateside to Richmond, and then Atlanta. After graduating from Ole Miss, she moved to New York City for nearly a decade before she and her husband relocated to London for a few years, during which they traveled Western Europe extensively. When they relocated to Denver, Elizabeth launched her travel business under the tutelage of industry veteran Betty Jo Currie. She is delighted to have found a home at The Local Foreigner, which will allow her clients to benefit from the company’s wealth of knowledge, leverage their incredible worldwide relationships, and enjoy all the VIP perks and treatment The Local Foreigner is known for.
