Meet Liz Squillante President and Founder of Springboard Travel

Travel has always been my springboard, propelling me into new adventures and expanding my horizons. That passion led me to start Springboard Travel in 2019, where I’ve been curating extraordinary, custom-tailored vacations for clients ever since.

The Best Places to Visit

Traveling to over 48 countries has taken me across the globe, from watching polar bears in the Arctic to walking side-by-side with mighty elephants in Botswana. I’ve trekked to hidden waterfalls in Belize, heard howler monkeys in Costa Rica, dined in hidden tavernas in Greece, gone yachting off the Croatian coast, and so much more.

Even as a young child, I traveled to far away and exotic locales with my parents. I will always be grateful to them for passing on this insatiable wanderlust to see the world. I currently live in New Canaan, Connecticut with my husband and two daughters and we travel together as a family as much as possible.
