Travel style

Traveling is not just about reaching a destination; it's connecting to the soul of a place. As a dedicated travel advisor, I draw from my extensive travels to craft journeys that transcend the ordinary. My passion lies in curating experiences that seamlessly intertwine cultural immersion with a touch of luxury. I believe that even when traveling with children, one shouldn't have to sacrifice the finer things in life. Let me be your guide to destinations where your experience can be a harmonious blend of authenticity and indulgence.

Lauren's reviews

Lauren was an absolutely amazing advisor. We really enjoyed working with her. From just one conversation she was able to curate the perfect 10 year anniversary trip. She knew more about what we needed than we did! We honestly could not have asked for more from her!

Lauren is the most amazing travel advisor!! She gave us just the right amount of choices and took the lead wherever she could. At no time did I ever feel unorganized or unprepared. I will never be booking my travel by myself again!

Lauren helped me in a pinch to book BahaMar on super short notice. She was able to get us breakfast included every day which was much appreciated. She was responsive and navigated working through some kinks with scheduling with ease.
