Disney World and Cruise Adventure Travel Expert

Hi, I’m Laura, and I want to make your travel dreams come true! I’m from St. Louis, Missouri and I’m a mom of two girls. I’ve been a travel agent for almost 10 years now and I love what I do. I get to play a small role in helping people make lifelong memories! I got into the travel business because I was tired of freelance work. I had been a stay-at-home mom for years, but my kids were getting older and didn’t need me to be quite as involved. I found I had time on my hands and my thoughts were often preoccupied by exotic vacation destinations; wishing it could be me on that seaside hammock under a coconut tree, or watching the fireworks explode over Cinderella Castle on Main Street, USA at Walt Disney World. So I finally quit daydreaming and made something happen–why shouldn’t that be me? How could I make it happen? It turned out, helping others achieve their travel dreams is just as rewarding! 

I have always loved traveling–some of my best memories growing up are from the vacations we would take as a family. And now I enjoy taking my daughters and my husband on new adventures and trips. Walt Disney World is one of my favorite destinations–I never get tired of going! Whether with my family in a big group, or by myself, the Disney magic never wears off. I first visited Disney World as a child and I never wanted to lose that magical feeling. My husband and I honeymooned there and we’ve been taking our daughters since they were little. I clearly passed the love for Disney to my kids because even though they are both in college now, they can’t get enough (just like me!) My favorite way to start a Disney trip is at Magic Kingdom. I love to ride the People Mover and people-watch as I relax in Tomorrowland. It's a great way to kick off a Disney World vacation! I am a thrill-seeker too, though, so you better believe I'll be making my way shortly to every roller coaster.  I do tend to hit the ground running when I get to Disney World, so I can hit all my favorites!

I also love to travel to bucket-list destinations including Santorini, Greece, Venice, Italy, Paris, France, Costa Rica, Ireland and more. Some of my favorite vacations have been on cruises with my family. Getting to mark a place off my bucket list has got to be one of my favorite ways to travel.  A cruise with Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise Line or Viking Cruise is one of my favorite ways to see the world and relax all at once. I love being able to experience so many new cities and countries in one trip and still be able to end the night with a drink by the hot tub on the ship. Both Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line have a wide array of ships to suit any taste. From family travel including multi-generational travel, to couples, to a friend vacation, you're bound to find a good fit with a cruise. An all-inclusive experience like a cruise or a resort is one of the best ways to relax and have a worry-free trip.

All-inclusive resorts like Sandals and Beaches are also amazing vacations that let you really relax and enjoy the moment. When everything is taken care of for you ahead of time, you have nothing to do but relax and enjoy your vacation to the fullest. Sandals and Beaches are top-tier all-inclusives and even offer private butlers. There are lots of amazing options for all-inclusive resorts, but once you have your own private butler, it's hard to imagine anything else living up to that! 

As I said, I want to make your travel dreams come true. I truly enjoy sharing my love for travel with others–I can be passionate about destinations that have left big impressions on me. I aim to make the planning process of any trip less stressful and as easy as possible for you. I do most of the heavy lifting, so you can spend less time worrying and more time looking forward to your adventures. I will take care of booking hotels, cruise excursions, and anything else that might be a hassle or confusing for you. I will also handle anything that goes wrong or needs fixing. I will always try to find you the best deals and sales so you can save any money–while also ensuring you get the best experiences on your trips. And you can be as involved or hands-off as you like in the planning process. I’m happy to handle the bulk of things, but if you just prefer some help with booking and you want to do the rest of the planning yourself, that’s fine too. I want to make vacation-planning a fun, stress-free experience. So whether you want to take that first ever visit to Walt Disney World with the kiddos, or even your second trip or seventeenth trip to Disney, or you have bigger kids who want to be immersed in the land of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort, or maybe you're planning a big family reunion and want something really fun and amazing like a cruise, or maybe you're interested in exploring Europe or some other continent, I will work with you every step of the way to make your vacation the best ever. And before you know it, you’re on your way to making memories!

Laura, I can't tell you how many times I have thanked you in my mind for all the help you have given us! The trip to Maui was daunting and your help made it go smooth as glass. I will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a travel agent. Your kindness made a tough time easier.

You did a great job and I have referred you to anyone who looks like they need some travel advice.
