Hello fellow travelers or soon to be travelers! My name is Chris Lilley and I am the owner of Lilley Travel Co. I live in Eastern Oregon although my business is out of my home so anyone living anywhere can use my services.
I have been planning my personal and family travel for over 30 years. I’ve been to 18 countries and 3 continents. One of my many travel goals is to visit every state in the United States and I only have 10 left. I have taken 17 cruises, as well. Because I love it so much, I decided to make travel planning my business so I can share my expertise with you.
Traveling is one of my favorite things – I love to see and discover new places, people, and cultures. My favorite travel saying is “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list!” – Susan Sontag. My favorite color is blue and my favorite food is ribeye steak, although I do love to try anything new at least once.
Fun facts about me – I am the youngest of 3; I hate green beans; I was born and raised in California but I call Oregon home. I lived in Texas for 32 years – longest century of my life! I am a certified scuba diver and was a Private Investigator for a short time. I have had two businesses, a transcription business and a photography studio. I am an autodidact and love learning new things.
Please take the time to sign up for my mailing list so you can receive all the great deals and information I have to share.
At Lilley Travel Co, we help travelers navigate endless options, avoid costly mistakes, and create experiences tailored specifically to their interests.
