User researcher by day, travel designer by night — I’m an expert at asking all the right questions and then creating experiences that surprise and delight.
Travel style
My dream travel day is planned around food, spent immersed in cultural experiences or soaking up awe-inspiring scenery and capped off with a glass of local wine or spirits. Ahead of touching down in a new destination, you can bet I’ve got every corner of the area mapped out — from off-the-beaten-path eateries to tour schedules and top-notch accommodations. I’ve explored 38 countries and 44 US states, and am equally as happy donning my hiking boots or jumping on a zipline as I am wandering around a quaint local neighborhood or admiring art in a world-famous museum. The thrill of a new place, a new adventure, a new experience remains, and that feeling really can’t be beat.

Laurel's reviews
Laurel was a fantastic travel planner. She was responsive, proactive and thoughtful. We are planning a trip to Portugal and Spain soon and will certainly use Laurel again for our upcoming travel.

Laurel was excellent, we are so happy we used her to book our baby moon. We told her we wanted something tropical and affordable and she took it from there. She presented a wide range of options and steered us towards the places that matched our wants. She got us a great last minute deal on an all inclusive and communicated with the resort to make sure it had safe options for pregnancy (food, massages, etc). Laurel even booked our hotel transfers and checked in before, during, and after the trip to make sure everything was going as planned. We will definitely use Laurel to book our next trip!

We cannot thank Laurel enough for planning our dream honeymoon in South Africa! From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand what both my husband and I wanted, seamlessly blending our desire for adventure with the need for relaxation. Each day of our trip was perfectly curated, allowing us to explore the stunning landscapes and vibrant culture while indulging in the most amazing dining experiences.
Laurel’s attention to detail was impressive—our itinerary was flawless, and it was evident that every step had been meticulously thought out. She even had backups in place, which gave us peace of mind throughout our journey.
We wholeheartedly recommend Laurel to anyone looking to plan a trip that is tailored to their dreams. Thank you, Laurel, for making our honeymoon so incredibly special!
