About
Former small-town girl with an incredible love for travel, continually exploring the beauty of this world and learning more about the people in it. It brings me so much joy to share this with others as a travel advisor through curation and planning of luxury stays and experiences.
I'm originally from Wisconsin, where I obtained an undergraduate degree followed by an MBA with a marketing focus. Several years ago, I relocated to Houston, became a broker and founded a thriving real estate business with my now-husband. Now, as a travel advisor, I devote the same detail-focused and client-first mindset to creating highly personalized travel recommendations and itineraries for my clients. I'm equally passionate about travel as I am about ensuring my clients' experiences are seamless, stress-free and truly memorable.
My special interests are in planning honeymoons (as a recent newlywed myself), couples' travel, European sightseeing and relaxation and Mexico travel — my husband's birthplace and our second home.
Whether you want to experience the beauty of a new country, fly and flop on a gorgeous beach or go on a multi-stop adventure in style, I'm here to design your travel with the care you deserve.
Travel style
I'm eager to experience all the world has to offer, whether it's a luxe stay in the heart of Santorini, or boutique hotel in the far flung mountains of Mexico. I love longer stays, and giving myself enough time to immerse myself in the destination AND make the most of my hotel's amenities.

Lauren 's reviews
Lauren was phenomenal. From being introduced to her by a friend she was proactive from the initial planning stage all the way to the end. We gave her cities we wanted to visit and she planned and booked everything in a first class way. She was patient and accommodating when we need to make changes and was always responsive with updates and suggestions. We’ve worked with other advisors in the past, but none hold a candle to her. Absolutely fantastic trip and looking forward to planning the next one with her.

Booked travel to Bora Bora

After planning my first trip with Lauren, I don’t think I can ever go back. Lauren is so unbelievably thoughtful and intentional and really took the time to learn about what we value in a vacation in order to plan the most incredible vacay possible. She was super responsive when we had questions and I’ve already referred her to a few friends!

Booked travel to Portugal

Lauren was absolutely phenomenal. She is so quick to answer any and all messages, even when she was temporarily off work for personal reasons and I didn't expect a response right away, she still responded to my questions! She knows what she is talking about when it comes to beautiful luxury stays, especially in Mexico. I've already recommended her to multiple friends and will continue to do so. Cannot wait to book my next adventure with Lauren!
