About
A Paris-based, second-generation Expat whose wanderlust is genetic. Type A about planning your travel so you don’t have to be!
Travel style
I’m a big fan of discovering new cultures and cities via “WED” traveling—Wander, Eat, and Drink. Uncovering hidden gems and experiences that let you feel like a local are my specialty. My itineraries range from adventure-packed schedules that keep you out of your I’m-only-here-to-sleep-hotel to luxury chateaux and villas that are so breathtaking you never want to leave the property. And regardless of the type of trip, you can guarantee that amazing food will be the North Star of any travel I plan.

Layne 's reviews
Truly a 12/10 planning experience. Layne was so responsive and even nudged me when I had fallen off the map and not replied which was very helpful because I know I'm not always the most responsive! It kept us on track with trying to coordinate group travel and made the planning experience far less overwhelming than it could have been (and has been in the past).

Layne is highly responsive and highly intuitive when it comes to anticipating her clients' needs. Working with Layne is a delight; she is always prompt, thoroughly researches her options, and follows through on amenities to ensure an excellent stay. We will always consult Layne prior to booking a hotel stay, she has great contacts and has consistently gotten us low rates with excellent extra amenities!

Layne was an AMAZING resource and partner in crime in helping to book our 3 leg, multiple party, very dynamic trip! Not only did she make it so easy to plan, and was a great resource in finding restaurants, activities, transfer and hotels, but she was a great resource DURING the trip. I will absolutely work with Layne again for my next big trip and am so grateful for her support. :)

So glad we got to work with you on this trip! It will definitely be one of the most memorable haha!! But Layne was so helpful and fun to work with! You had great recommendations and when we had to make some last minute changes you were so helpful in navigating all of it. Helped us to feel not as stressed and we could focus on still trying to enjoy ourselves while you helped with communication for us. We’re talking about our next trip soon! Just no dislocated shoulders this time (hopefully!!)
