About
Mom of three wild and wonderful boys, wife to a football coach and former language teacher turned travel advisor. I love margaritas, puzzles and helping people plan unforgettable trips — in that order, depending on the day.

Travel style
Travel is more than just checking places off a list — it’s about collecting moments that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked. As a travel advisor (and former world language teacher turned experience curator), I design trips that balance cultural authenticity with just the right amount of luxury. Whether you’re jet-setting as a couple, exploring with kids in tow or celebrating something big, I believe you can enjoy meaningful, immersive experiences without giving up comfort or style. I'm here to help you travel smart, travel well and return home feeling like it was all worth it — because it was.

Lauren's reviews
Lauren was extremely helpful throughout our time working with her. She gave some great trip options for us and was very knowledgeable about her suggestions. She was extremely responsive while we were on our trip as well; quickly returning emails with questions we had. Working with Lauren was fun and easy and helped eliminate much of the stress that comes with planning a big family trip.

Lauren helped us find excellent accommodations for our larger group, including adjoining rooms for our families. She continued to communicate with the hotel on our behalf throughout the stay and helped with resolving a small snag we had around airport transport. We felt very taken care of throughout the planning and travel experience.

Thanks to Lauren! My vacation was seamless and everything I hoped for. Lauren was also very responsive, addressing all my questions and concerns promptly. I especially appreciated how she was able to secure exclusive deals and upgrades that I wouldn’t have found on my own. I’ll definitely be turning to them for all my future travel plans!
