About
Former small-town girl, turned high end hotel connoisseur, always seeking to explore our beautiful world and people in it. It brings me so much joy to extend this passion to my clients through premium and personalized experiences. Whether you're a frequent traveler seeking an advisor to seamlessly organize and curate your calendar, or you're venturing international for the first time, I'm here to align with your needs and ensure you travel in tailored luxury and comfort.
To get to know me better, I'm originally from rural Wisconsin, where I obtained extensive education and my MBA at University of Wisconsin, Madison.. Life brought me to Houston, where I became a real estate broker and founded a thriving agency husband, serving clients relocating from all over the globe.. When I left the real estate world to begin my travel agency, I took with me years of experience in providing committed and client-focused care.
With me managing your travel, you're assured detail oriented and highly personalized service., resulting in seamless, stress-free and truly memorable experiences.. My specialties lie in 5* resort travel in the Caribbean, Mexico, French Polynesia and the Mediterranean, high end small ship cruising, fully customized multi-week itineraries in Europe, premium air travel, and private charters whether by air or sea. I'm all about dreaming without limits, and always up for a challenge, so wherever you'd like your travel to take you, I'm here to help you bring your dreams to life. I'd love to hear from you if you feel we'd be a good match, and welcome any questions about my service and what it looks like to work together.
Travel style
I'm passionate about high end travel of all varieties, from a luxury suite in Greece, to a boutique resort in a far flung corner of Mexico, or island hopping small-ship cruise in the Mediterranean or French Polynesia. My focus is combining premiere accommodations with incredible amenities and service, with true immersion into the destination. This may look like a city stay and visits to countless museums, relaxing at a Caribbean resort but venturing out to for the best local dining, starting the morning in a private pool suite before experiencing the wonders of Central America's rainforests, or visiting sights of antiquity in the Mediterranean via a luxury small ship cruise. When I say I'm obsessed with great travel products, I mean it. You'll catch me reading about hotel openings and renovations like morning news, on YouTube to find the best business class seat on an airline, or combing through forums for the latest reviews from fellow travelers. This means you will always receive both highly tailored, and honest up-to -date recommendations. Travel is an investment both financially and of valuable time, and I'm here to ensure the highest ROI.

Booked travel to Cancun

LAUREN IS INCREDIBLE!!!! We loved working with Lauren. She planned us the most beautiful Cozumel trip and then I lost my job and we had to cancel. We were so disappointed, and I felt terrible. It was our first time working together and she had gone above and beyond to plan us a great trip. She was so kind and worked with me through the cancellation process. THEN.... I got a new job, and in a pinch Lauren planned us a second trip to squeeze in a little family fun before I started my new job. I would not have been able to pull the trip off without her. While on the trip, we had an issue with the hotel, and she was wonderful in helping us navigate the customer service. Working with Lauren assured me that I was getting the best value for my money, the best upgrades, and the kindest human to work with. Thank you Lauren for all you did!!!!!!!!!!

Booked travel to Playa del Carmen

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.
