About Ardrena Parkman-Lyles

I am Ardrena Parkman-Lyles and I am a Boston, Massachusetts native, who not only grew up in the community in which I lived, but also served and protected that same community as a law enforcement officer for twenty seven years. Prior to retiring, from the police force, I attended law school at night to accomplish my stated goals. After graduating and passing the Massachusetts BAR, I practiced law, and solved crimes as a police detective for several years. 

In 2010, I along with my business partner established a law firm, and in 2013, I retired from the police force to focus on my business. I pride myself in always evolving around what there is to accomplish next.  My family and close friends know me simply as Drena. I have enjoyed traveling for the past thirty plus years to several continents, and love experiencing different cultures around the world. To which, I began to receive lots of calls and inquiries from family and friends about travel; looking for suggestions on where to go, what to do, and where to eat. Thus, Travel with Drena (TWD) was conceptualized. 

I have assisted individuals with traveling plans through my own personal traveling experiences, and the know-how of traveling nationally and abroad. I aspire to influence those who have yet to travel, to do so; and to encourage those who do travel, to continue that course. “Traveling is Good for your Health, and Refreshes the Soul.” I am here to assist, so let's journey together.

I continue to practice law in Massachusetts, and live on the South Shore of Boston with my husband of 26 plus years and our three children.
