I have had the travel bug since I was 11 and convinced my parents to let me plan a 2 week trip to California and Nevada. I choose all the activities in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

In college I studied abroad in London and got the itch. A year later I saved money and went on my own to visit a friend in Ireland and became a certified whiskey taster. The following year I did a 5 week trip in Italy.  After that, I knew I wanted to travel anywhere and everywhere. I specialize in unique and one in a lifetime experiences that you can look back on for years to come. By day I'm a project manager and at night and on weekends I get to dip into my real love of travel and "project manage" trips for friends and family and myself.

My husband and I have traveled a bit of the world, the furthest being a once in a lifetime helicopter tour in Queensland, New Zealand, getting Scuba Diving certified in Bali or hitting the Beach or petting a kangaroo in Sydney, Australia. Since Europe is not too far a flight from NYC so we've gotten to experience Germany at Oktoberfest, wine tasting throughout Italy, with the most time spent in Montalcino. We also made our own wine in Chianti, went on a truffle hunt with a Professional hunter and his dog near Florence. Did private night tours in the Vatican and the Colosseum. Early morning walks up to the Acropolis in Athens, food tours with a local in Crete, scenic drives around Milo and Rhodes Greece. Wine and bike tours in Austria, and a Sound of Music tour in Salzburg. We have also slept on top of a volcano in Tenerife, and tasted fresh baklava in Istanbul.

We've traveled to the UK with our daughter several times, the fun activities and experiences are numerous, my favorite getting to go inside Buckingham Palace, hers is probably the Peppa Pig Bus tour and the British Museum. In Summer 2023, we brought her to our favorite place, Greece, and we soaked up some sun and a lot of culture. We just rang in 2024 in Paris, and learned how to bake baguettes, did a scavenger hunt in the Louvre and a delicious food tour in the city. Additionally with friends I've visited Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, San Sebastian, Rioja, in Spain. Champagne France and Porto, Portugal.

We also live in New York City, so if anyone is planning a trip in the Tri-State area I can give you a local POV. We brought her to Disney World a few years ago and this year we are going on our first Disney Cruise. I would be happy to help you plan whatever wish your heart makes!

An amazing trip as usual!

Reviewed By Alex - New York, NY | Traveled to Napa Valley ~ California ~ USA
Lauren is my go-to resource for planning vacations. This is the third time I’ve worked with her (previous trips were to Paris and San Sebastián/Rioja) and once again her recommendations were excellent and everything went smoothly. She was organized, had great suggestions and was a pleasure! We can’t thank her enough for all she did to ensure our vacation was unforgettable!

Unforgettable girls trip!

Reviewed By Katie - Los Angeles, CA, USA | Traveled to Madrid ~ Spain ~ Europe
I cannot recommend Lauren enough for anyone planning a trip! She went above and beyond to make our girls' trip unforgettable and took the stress out of planning. Lauren found us the perfect apartment in a prime location, making it easy to explore the city on foot. She also secured dinner reservations at hidden gem restaurants that only locals would know about, which we appreciated as foodies. Additionally, Lauren planned fun and engaging activities that were tailored to our interests, including walking tour that helped familiarize us with the city to a fun and informative food tour. Her attention to detail and personalized touch made our trip seamless and memorable. Thank you, Lauren, for an incredible experience!

The best!

Reviewed By David - New York, NY | Traveled to Crete ~ Greece ~ Europe
Lauren has put together some truely amazing vacations for me and my family, from Greece and Italy to New Zealand and everything inbetween. Her organization and attention to detail are second to none. She works hard to understand what we are looking for and ends up finding places and experiences that we would have never found by ourselves and that blow us away everytime. The most recent trip was a surprise Disney cruise for my daughters birthday, Lauren coordinated and managed bookings for 20 people in our group, she laid out a fantastic itinerary which went off without a hitch and everyone loved. Hands down the best travel agent I have ever worked with.

Best travel agent!

Reviewed By Kate C - Fairfield, CT | Traveled to Madrid ~ Spain ~ Europe
This was the first time using a travel agent and I am hooked! Lauren really listened to our wants and needs. She blew away our expectations. This was one of the most memorable trips I've ever had. We had the best food, saw the best spots, and everything was just absolutely seamless. Madrid is one of my favorite places in the world and I have a feeling it has to do a lot with how it was planned and organized. I can't wait for my next trip with Lauren!

Best girls trip to Portugal!

Reviewed By Kate C - Fairfield, CT | Traveled to Porto ~ Portugal ~ Europe
Lauren is an excellent travel agent! She planned a girls trip for us to Porto, Portugal. This was the 2nd trip she planned for us so we already knew we were in good hands. She found us the most centralized location to stay - it really could not have been a better spot. She was great at finding restaurants and sights that weren't so "touristy" but we still got to see everything you'd want to see in Porto. She even planned a day trip out to the Douro Valley to visit a couple of vineyards. We didn't have to think about a thing. Lauren planned it all and it was one of the best and most memorable vacations!
