The Founders: Travel Veterans in Love With the Journey
“Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.”
~ J. K. Rowling
Erik - Business Development
Erik Lindqvist is excited to be a part of the Jitterless community. Being raised by adventurous, well-traveled parents and spending a college semester in Europe led Erik to a 35+-year career in travel. After he, his wife Lisa and their sons made Austin their home in the late 1990s, a career change from business travel management to ecotourism cultivated a world-wide assortment of providers and local contacts along with thousands of satisfied clients. Aiming to visit all 50 states in his lifetime, Erik has traveled extensively throughout the USA as well as Europe and Central America. His bucket list, which includes Africa, Asia and Oceana, will soon be a slightly reduced with upcoming trips to Brazil’s Pantanal and Southern Amazon region as well as Spain and Portugal. Sharing stories with and assisting fellow travelers provides Erik the motivation to keep pursuing his dreams.
Anais - Founder / COO
Having spent many years in the Travel Industry, I am having so much fun being a part of the development of Jitterless and bringing this community to life. I have had the opportunity to travel extensively, for both work and pleasure, starting with vacation travel, planning and escorting groups and most recently in assisting large corporations with solutions for their business travel. Throughout my career I have developed a huge wanderlust and appreciation for the benefits of travel, as well as a desire to meet new people and immerse myself in local cultures. I love traveling off the beaten path, my favorite trip so far, was to Bali, hiking the rice fields and attending a traditional Hindu celebration in the home of our host. The Portugese route of the Camino de Santiago, is one of my travel goals, as well as Denmark (an ancestry trip) and the islands of Greece and Turkey. I have a tremendous bucket list and look forward to new adventures!
Chris - Creative Strategist
Chris Morris is an Austin musician, charter boat captain, high tech goober, and adventure seeker. In awe of the world still left to explore, I am always at ease returning home to the Lone Star State. The travel bug bit late in life, but it's effects have been life changing. Dubbed "Water Baby," that is usually where I can be found. Whether white water rafting in Costa Rica, lounging on a beach in the Bahamas, catching piranhas in the Amazon, or exploring the San Blas Islands in Panama, I am always drawn to it. Having been smitten by the Cinque Terre in Italy, my next trek is planned for the Greek Islands. With so many things to see & delve into, traveling brings my life the enrichment I so dearly crave. ~ Catch you on the flip flop,
Lisa - Founder / CEO
Lisa Lindqvist is a travel industry veteran and fun seeking enthusiast. Originally from New Orleans, I moved to San Francisco in my early 20s. Having grown up in Louisiana to a large family, most trips consisted of driving trips to nearby states. I never even flew on a commercial flight until the first time I returned home to Louisiana for a visit. But when my travel career took off, working in small vacation businesses to start, the itch began and the rest is history. There is nothing better than sinking into a neighborhood in an unfamiliar city and watching the sites around you unfold as you sip a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. I don’t actually have a bucket list of trips in mind because I’m open to it all. This is why we began Jitterless - to travel, meet fellow enthusiasts, and enjoy the heck out of life while there’s life still in us.
