Circlescapes Virtual Tours is the brainchild of Lisa Franzino from Portland, OR and Jared Varon from Jacksonville, FL.
In 2008, after working individually in creative, marketing and design environments for over 15 years, we decided to join forces and open a company specializing in really cool virtual tours creations for really special clients.
We started small, but as the popularity of virtual tours grew, so did our team and our product offerings. Now, all these years later, we still adhere to our core values to be innovative, nimble, and customer-focused … and have fun doing it.
We are truly a virtual company – with a team of awesome photographers, virtual tour developers, map illustrators, drone videographers, and client success managers scattered around the country.
In my spare time, you can usually find me: Sweating in a 105° degree room (I practice and teach Bikram yoga), in a sun patch on my porch reading, or playing soccer on the beach with my Jack Russell Terrier.
Favorite past and future travel destination: I have to say that the French Riviera is the favorite place I have been to so far-- stunning beaches, the walk able historic towns, amazing farmer's markets--oh, and rosé at lunch! A few at the top of my list of places to go are Sicily - a visit to my ancestral home, Banff in Canada to visit the healing springs, and Bonaire, a dutch Caribbean island for some R&R.
In my spare time, you can usually find me: In my downtime, I LIKE to spend time with my wife and 3 kids (traveling, hiking, kayaking), reading a novel, watching a movie, playing board games or cards, cooking/eating good food, and rooting for my alma mater, the Florida Gators. Unfortunately, I DO spend too much time washing dishes, doing laundry, running errands, and cleaning the swimming pool — ugh.
Favorite past and future travel destination: I live in Florida, but love being in the mountains of Vermont, Colorado, and North Carolina. I have also walked on the Great Wall of China, which was amazing! One of my favorite Circlescapes projects was spending 2 weeks with my family in the Adirondacks, photographing virtual tours for the NY State Park System. It doesn't get much better than that.
In my spare time, you can usually find me: Doing the New York Times crossword puzzles.
Constructing a map is very much like solving puzzles. Every detail needs attention and I am very happy being focused and concentrating.
Favorite past and future travel destination: My husband, John, and I met at the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts, at the Palace, about 30 miles south of Paris on a summer program. Falling in love in France, in such a beautiful place, was the wonder of my life. John is a retired architect and he helps me with the layout and drawing of the maps. Next summer I am looking forward to walking on the tidal flats of Cape Cod Bay with John and
my family.
In my spare time, you can usually find me: Spending time with my family and my two year old son, as well as continuing to research and educate myself about all things in visual arts.
Favorite past and future travel destination: Italy, especially the Amalfi Coast. My bucket list destinations are the Galápagos Islands, Greenland and Mongolia.
In my free time, you can usually find me: In the ocean. Living close to the beach has its benefits. I enjoy waking up early in search of a beautiful landscape to admire and photograph, usually around water. I’ve always been drawn to the ocean. If the surfs up its pretty simple, grab a board and paddle out and get a few fun rides. If the surfs not doing its thing I normally like to spend a few hours on or around the water with a paddle board, on the beach or going for a walk with my wife and dog. Love a matcha green tea, healthy food, good conversation and listening to all kinds music. I’m always up for an adventure.
Favorite past and future travel destination: I really cherish Hawaii. It’s been a big part of my life, having lived there a few times. The sheer beauty of the islands and aloha spirit that’s present makes it a wonderful place to be. In the future I look forward to spending time in Europe with my wife and being able to experience the different cultures.
In my spare time, you can usually find me: Spending time with my wife and son, going to the beach, taking photos, flying my drone, riding and watching motocross and doing lots of BBQs.
