About

A Midwest-based travel-obsessed gal whose love language is looking up flight deals. I love to jet-set to new countries, plan an epic staycation and immerse myself in unique cultures. I'm married to my husband Levi, and we have a golden retriever pup named Luna. Our favorite vacation spot is Maui, HI!

Lauren's reviews

Booking with Lauren was so easy and help make everything on the trip easy and prepared! We loved the resort and successfully had our first vacation with my 7 month old baby! I will definitely be booking future trips with Lauren and using her recommendations for future getaways.

Lauren helped us book our hotel at a great price and we barely did any of the work! All we had to do was enter our payment info and she took care of the rest. She helped us find an amazing location with lots of amenities and close to everything fun.

Planning a three day family road trip with a dog and 6 month old felt overwhelming, but Lauren made it completely stress-free. She was incredibly responsive, offered fantastic suggestions tailored to our needs, and handled every detail with professionalism. Highly recommend working with Lauren for any travel needs!
