Travel Industry Expert | Adventure Travel Broker at ABC Trips / Always Be Changing
For the past six years, my family and I have lived and traveled continuously around the world, visiting every continent in a 13-month span and documenting the experience as full-time travel creators. Along the way, our YouTube channels have grown to more than 700,000 subscribers, drawn not to glossy brochure travel, but to the real version: the logistics, the decisions, the tradeoffs, and the moments that don’t fit neatly into an Instagram square. After decades spent running digital marketing agencies, I co-founded ABC Trips, a luxury and adventure travel agency focused on high-touch, experience-driven travel—polar expeditions, African safaris, expedition cruising, private yachts, and deeply cultural itineraries designed for solos, couples, groups, and families. The work sits at the intersection of brokerage, storytelling, and logistics, with a strong bias toward knowing what’s genuinely worth the splurge—and what’s just good marketing. Along the way, I’ve served as a quoted travel industry source for major publications, appeared on network news segments and podcasts, and collaborated closely with leading travel brands, lodges, and expedition operators worldwide. My commentary often focuses on luxury and expedition travel, family and multigenerational travel, travel trends, and what it actually takes to design a location-flexible life that works long-term. These days, my time is split between: - Advising clients on exceptional luxury and adventure travel through ABC Trips - Serving as a media source and collaborator for journalists and brands - Continuing to explore the world with my family—still learning, still curious I’m not especially interested in chasing trends or shouting into the void. I value thoughtful questions, smart conversations, and people who care about doing things well—and enjoying the ride while they’re at it. If our paths cross, there’s a good chance we’ll have something interesting to talk about.

Runner, author
After being told to stop running because of osteo-arthritis I run Marathon des Sables, 250 Km in the Sahara, Everest Marathon and Antartcica marathon. My book Extreme Adventures (Meyer & Meyer Sport) can be pre-ordered and will be out in June. About the book: Extreme Adventures is a rocket-fueled, heartwarming journey through curiosity, self-doubt, reinvention, and improbable triumph, where every finish line is the next starting point. Emerging from a childhood where she skipped gym class and was mystified by mathematics to a high-flying career in finance, on the outside, Beatrice Lessi seemed to be conquering the world. But inside, she was battling eating disorders and struggling to find meaning in her life. Fast forward to her forties when on a whim Beatrice signs up for the Marathon des Sables, the grueling multi-day ultra race across the Sahara Desert. No training plan. No race preparation. Zero athletic experience. Instead Beatrice competes in the toughest footrace on earth fueled by wild curiosity and a hint of madness. What follows is an outrageous, exhilarating, and soulful transformation that takes her to Everest Base Camp, the glaciers of Antarctica, and into the heart of ultra-endurance culture. Along the way, she proves that a person doesn’t need youth, talent, money, a perfectly healthy body, or mathematical brilliance to live adventurously—just curiosity, guts, and a sense of humor. Extreme Adventures inspires anyone who has been told they’re too old, too unfit, or just not “sporty” enough by showing them how they can achieve any goal in life. With laugh-out-loud anecdotes, honest confessions, and bold inspiration, Beatrice Lessi makes the reader believe that the best time to start is right now because it is never too late to seek adventure.

Owner at Adios Adventure Travel
My specialty is adventure travel topics related to high profile destinations in South America like Machu Picchu, Amazon jungle, Galapagos Islands, Lake Titicaca, Easter Island and Patagonia in Chile. I've traveled extensively in South America for 18 years. I'm not a typical traveler who is an expert on mainstream stories about apps, hotels or airports. My expertise falls into niche categories about how to travel to high profile spots in South America.. For instance, how to choose the right luggage and pack for trips to remote destinations, or when to travel to the amazon jungle or Andes Mountains. Or things like how to combine multiple destinations to more than one country in South America, into a logical, efficient itinerary. What about insects and toilets? These are things I pay attention to and report on. Why do Peruvians not put seats on their public toilets? I help travelers prepare for the real world in South America. I have personally visited all these places and I have scads of tips and stories. What happens when you're traveling and you happen to run into a road block or protest? What is the health care like on the Galapagos Islands or Machu Picchu? How to prepare for and cope with travel to high altitude. What if all the entry tickets to Machu Picchu are sold out? (interestingly, we have noticed that if people translate the official website into English, ticket availability may disappear!) I follow travel trends and ticket issues at Machu Picchu. About 10 years ago I started tracking ticketing data to see how ticket availability to Machu Picchu changed each year. I discovered interesting gaps in the information I collected and the data being reported to the public. Since 2007 I've been working with native Peruvian tour guide, Vidal Jaquehua, to organize trips for small groups to South America. Including Machu Picchu, Inca Trail, Amazon jungle, Lake Titicaca, Galapagos Islands, Easter Island and Patagonia. On the Adios Adventure Travel website, we have a blog that features the latest information and updates about tickets, hiking permits and travel news that affects people traveling to Machu Picchu. We are "fixers" and we often assist travelers when they make mistakes or come across situations they don't know how to handle. My knowledge of how to travel to remote or popular destinations in the middle of nowhere in South America is specific and deep.
