About
A lover of warm beach towns, local eats and a salted rim. Mom of two divas often last in the carpool line. School psychologist turned travel junkie.
Travel style
I like slower travel with a healthy mix of exploration, local food experiences and downtime. I believe the foundation of any good trip is a relaxing property with stunning views and crisp sheets. Location is everything when it comes to choosing a base for your trip. There are times to splurge and times to save, so I try to strike a balance between the two.

Laura's reviews
Loved everything about this resort. Beautiful property, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay great. . From the moment we pulled up, to when we pulled away, my husband and I felt welcomed, relaxed, and very happy to be on site. Also, a shoutout to the numerous restaurants - each one was special and served food that was as delicious as it was to observe. Staying in the Inspira Suites is definitely the move as there are so many perks that go along with including butler service, better beach cabanas, specific pools that were not crowded, 50% discount at Maria Dolores, and a fabulous hydrotherapy session in the spa. Would definitely stay here again!

Laura is great! She made excellent and thoughtful recommendations that we'd never come up with ourselves. All of her recommendations were within our budget, convenient for the limited time we could get away, and each one seemed like a perfect fit for what we were seeking.
