Stone by Stone: Building a Granite Legacy in Grinnell |

| Dear new residents of Grinnell... 
Lisa Griffith recently arranged an unforgettable trip for a 90-year-old to Alaska — another check off their bucket list! Griffith is a cruise, land, and tour specialist, helping people of all demographics book their next trip through her travel agency, Unravel Ur Travel.
Her travel agency began after she discovered her passion for travel. When Griffith was little, vacationing meant purely local trips to state and county fairs. At the time, the farthest she traveled was to South Dakota, but as she helped family members plan their more ambitious trips, she decided she wanted to travel, too.
So, Griffith began her own series of trips — so far, she has visited many places domestically, as well as places like Peru, Mexico, Costa Rica, Aruba, Ireland, Egypt, and many more. But amidst her trips, she realized she wanted other people to experience the art of travel, too. With the support of her husband, Unravel Ur Travel was born.
“I love helping people, and I want people to have grand experiences,” Griffith says. Her travel agency sends people everywhere in the world, whether for cruises, independent travel, escorted or guided trips, and even rail. She also sets people up with car rentals, hotels, and itineraries, and works to limit fees as best as possible recognizing how those can sometimes hinder travel.
At any given time, Griffith is planning several itineraries, and has been hiring folks to help support the growing business. Recently, she hired a team member to provide group tours around the world, including for cruises, rail, land, and more.
As you travel, Griffith is by your side every step of the way, from before your trip to during and after. Griffith herself is there for you, along with her team. But if you are uneasy about traveling by yourself, she can arrange for someone to accompany you during bus and airplane transfers, and lead the way as you move from one itinerary spot to another.
When you reach out to Griffith, she will ask you a few questions to get your dream trip started — she’ll ask about budget, specific places on your bucket list, and whether you are looking for a more solo or group-oriented kind of trip.
“I’ll send proposals for clients to look at, but usually I like to get a feel for what they want and the fun experiences they wish to have,” shares Griffith. So, if you’re looking to travel this year or next, book with Unravel Ur Travel! It is never too expensive or too late to travel, or as Griffith puts it, “it is the memories and experiences you will have that last a lifetime.” Griffith’s mascot, Maxx, for example, travels everywhere with her, too!
