Life is Better Traveling

Ileana "Lana" Hutchison

Travel Advisor Specialist

Hi, I’m Lana Hutchinson, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for immersive, intentional travel through Life is Better Traveling. With a professional background in supply chain management and logistics, I bring thoughtful planning, smooth coordination, and attention to detail to every journey I design. Now, I get to apply those skills to something I truly love: helping individuals, families, and groups experience the world in a meaningful way.

My love for exploration began while studying abroad in Italy and has since taken me canyoning in the Swiss Alps, backpacking across Europe, hiking Mayan ruins in Central America, flying over waterfalls in Hawaii, and discovering hidden beaches in the Caribbean. Whether I’m hunting for conch shells, wandering ancient ruins, or trekking through national parks closer to home, I travel to connect — with nature, with people, and with purpose.

I believe the best journeys happen off the beaten path. That’s why I specialize in curating travel experiences that are rich in culture, authenticity, and connection — far from the overcrowded tourist traps. Whether it’s a solo escape, a family getaway, or a group trip for students or enthusiasts, I design itineraries with balance: room to explore, reflect, and truly be present.

For me, travel isn’t just about getting away — it’s about self-discovery, global awareness, and seeing the world (and our place in it) through a wider lens. I believe every child, teen, and adult should have the opportunity to go abroad and realize that we’re all part of a greater global community. The world has endless lessons to teach us — and when we travel the right way, we learn not just about new places, but about ourselves and each other.

If you’re ready to experience travel that’s personal, purposeful, and unforgettable — whether as an individual, a family, or a group of like-minded adventurers — I’d be honored to help design your next journey.
