I leverage all my skills and experiences to help my clients reduce risk, increase serenity, and connect with the broader world through travel. Previously as a financial actuary, I dealt with conventional return on investment (ROI); and now as a ‘happiness actuary,’ I deal with my clients’ RETURN ON LIFE (ROL). – Sheila Gallant Halloran, CEO, Lush Life Travel

Atop 20 years of financial risk management experience, I’ve invested another 16+ years travelling, certifying, & building my travel expertise; as well as forging relationships with top-notch travel supplier partners around the world. I leverage all my skills & experiences to help my clients (whether solos, couples, families, or groups) reduce risk, increase serenity, & connect with the broader world through travel. Previously as a financial actuary, I dealt with conventional return on investment (ROI); & now as a ‘happiness actuary,’ I deal with my clients’ RETURN ON LIFE (ROL).

“Happiness Actuary”
Maximizing Your Return on LIFE

I have been designated as a “top producer” in the Virtuoso communities for Wellness Travel, Adventure Travel, and Voyages/ Cruise Travel (for river, expedition, + small ship cruising). I am a committed advisor focused on Sustainability. My success & my sales metrics give me access to experiences you could not find. The business & personal relationships I’ve built with global travel partners gives me access to special offers & benefits/ perks. I also have personal relationships to leverage if issues arise when you travel.

When you hire me as your travel advisor, I work as your advocate & fiduciary. You are the expert on your trip, & I am the expert on your travel plans. I help you with your decision-making process. I know all the pieces, & how the experiences fit together. I can identify options, help you decide between them in an informed way, & monitor how each decision impacts later ones. You essentially borrow my expertise.
