Tanzania - and some of her wildlife and landscapes
I serve my clients by taking care of all the research and arrangements of their trips for them, from inspiration to a fully planned vacation! This includes creating an itinerary, choosing accommodations, arranging transportation, identifying activities, tours, and more!
A vacation should be more than just a break from work or a chance to get away. It can be an opportunity to experience the world with the people who make up yours. Let me take care of the work of researching locations, booking activities, and creating itineraries so that you can focus on making memories and strengthening bonds.
My past clients have included couples, families, “girlfriend” groups, grandparent/grandchild trips, church groups, school groups, multi-generational family trips, and folks looking for solo time away. Your trip should be enjoyable for everyone on it; I ensure that each person's interests and needs are woven into the itinerary.
Some of my favorite places are Australia, Costa Rica, Spain, Tanzania, and the national parks of the US and Canada. My husband and I have two children: one who loves cities, and one who loves nature. Needless to say, I am accustomed to balancing the desires of multiple people into a single trip! We have two rescue dogs who will happily travel wherever the family can take them!
As an independent agent I work for you, not the travel industry. Through meticulous research and obsessive planning, I ensure that you have a wonderful, memorable trip without having to do the work of arranging it all!

I welcome the opportunity to plan your vacation!

About me
I am an avid traveler and obsessive planner.
I've enjoyed a wide variety of travel opportunities and am particularly fond of experiences in nature. But I also enjoy a good local meal, character filled accommodations, and a Broadway show now and then.
My husband and I have 2 children; one loves cities and is bored by the great outdoors; while the other prefers to be in the middle of nature far from the influence of bright lights and city streets.
Needless to say I am accustomed to balancing the desires of multiple people into a single trip! I also have 2 dogs who will pretty much travel wherever we can take them.
I am looking forward to learning about you and how you want to travel.

Wonderful Mother Daughter trip
She asked questions about how we like to travel, What amenities did we needed and which were a plus. She asked questions about how we like to experience a new place and what we enjoyed doing.
These questions help us to narrow done where we wanted to visit and then which provider would be the best fit for us.
She not only helped us plan and schedule the trip but stayed in touch in the months leading up to the date to make sure we had all the updated info form the provider. I always felt that I could reach out to her with a question or a concern.
Lauren really took the time to help us choose a trip that we will remember for a long time .
Thanks for your feedback. It is wonderful to know that I was able to help you and you mom create vacation memories to last a lifetime.

Excellent help, especially in an emergency
Dear John and Lisbeth, I am so glad that you had such a memorable trip to Australia. It is such a beautiful, unique country and you certainly had a good amount of time for exploring it! Thankfully the medical emergency was not only at the end of the trip, but something that the doctors in Sydney could address with a high standard of care. I was of course "happy" to ease the stressful situation for you and rearrange the plans at the last minute. Take care, Lauren
