Travel style
I'm passionate about extensive pre-travel research so that travel is enjoyable and mindful for all. I tend to plan my travel itineraries around local, authentic food, #yolo cultural experiences, and prefer on-the-ground transport to be slow - by train, boat, or ferry. I have luxe tastes and am willing to splash out if it means my child will be safely entertained, so my partner and I can relax more. I am highly sensitive to safety as a solo female traveler or with young children.

Lacey's reviews
Lacey booked the 5-star Inn to celebrate an anniversary over an exquisite dinner. She thoughtfully booked a luxurious suite in the private Parsonage cottage, and ensured no detail was overlooked (afternoon tea, check in, VIP welcome, dietary preferences for our dinner at the Inn). Will certainly book again in the future!

Thanks to Lacey, my stay at the Marriott Hotel was nothing short of amazing! She went above and beyond to ensure I received VIP treatment, complete with a delightful welcome gift bag upon arrival. Her efforts even secured an upgrade from a King room to a King suite, making my experience truly unforgettable.

Lacey booked a hotel stay to visit friends for us in Florida in March. She went above and beyond to offer multiple options and ensure the hotel was the right fit for my family. She also requested an early check in on my behalf when calling to reconfirm the reservation. I will book with her again for future trips.
