Lisa taught fitness to an international student body while studying Italian in Perugia, Italy, arranged an impromptu fitness class at a Global Unity conference which took place a castle in Bechyne, a small town outside Prague, and taught a ski fitness week in Portillo, Chile. Lisa has traveled to most parts of the globe, and lived in different parts of North America. She spent six years living in Colorado, working at a ski resort and conducting historic tours of Breckenridge.
