I take care of all the trip planning for you!

I take care of all the research and planning of my clients' trips for them, from inspiration to a fully-planned vacation! 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. They have traveled to places across the US and around the world. 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! Some of my favorite places are Tanzania, Australia, Costa Rica, Spain, and Yellowstone National Park. 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!

Best Vacation Ever

Reviewed By BJ - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Yosemite National Park ~ California ~ USA

This was my first time using Dynamic Escapes, our trip was to Yosemite National Park and San Francisco, CA. Lauren was excellent, after discussing where I wanted to vacation and my options. I selected the option that we desired and she arranged the trip, we were pleased at how coordinated our itinerary was, no problems along the way. The hotel/lodge were first rate. This was the best trip ever. No stress trying to arrange our vacation as I have done in previous years. This was definitely the way to go. Thanks! Lauren.

The trip was amazing and working with Lauren insured that all aspects were well thought out and met our needs. We have already planned another trip with Lauren - to Costa Rica.

Amazing Family Trip to Kauai

Reviewed By Sarah Mace - Atlanta , GA | Traveled to Kauai Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA

Lauren has planned two trips for our family, and both have far exceeded our expectations! We recently retuned from Kauai on a trip with extended family and Lauren's expertise and experience helped make this a memorable trip for everyone. Before deciding where to stay, we received a very detailed overview of Kauai. I really appreciated her knowledge of the weather and terrain. It helped us choose a convenient area of the island with beautiful views, minimal wind and access to the beach! Her guidance on choosing excursions was also spot on. She took into account our 5 year old and my husband's parents when making recommendations, so we were able to find experiences that everyone would enjoy. We chose to visit two botanical gardens and attend a luau while in Kauai. Everything was a hit! We loved Kauai and hope to return. We also plan to work with Lauren on our next trip!

Wonderful Mother Daughter trip

Reviewed By CC - Atlanta GA | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe

With so many companies offering package trips it was hard for us to decide who to work with and which offer to take. After meeting Lauren the process just seemed to be much smoother and easier to navigate.

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.

Central Europe Whirlwind Tour

Reviewed By Sjdade - Atlanta, Georgia | Traveled to Budapest ~ Hungary ~ Europe

Lauren was very helpful in putting together our spring break trip through Central Europe. It was a bit of a whirlwind (Budapest, Vienna and Munich in six days) and she was able to research and book the exact type of hotels, activities and timetable we wanted. She took care of all the research and legwork. More important, when my daughter had an allergic reaction on the way from Vienna to Munich, Lauren was able to rearrange our itinerary, saving us time and money and enabling us to continue on and enjoy our trip even with a nearly 24 hour unplanned delay.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Lauren Rock responded:
I am so glad that you had a great mother/daughter get-away; even with the minor "detour" due to the allergic reaction. I'm especially glad that the allergy was quickly treated and your daughter was OK. It was my pleasure to re-arrange the details so that your trip could proceed.

Excellent help, especially in an emergency

Reviewed By John and Lisbeth Boli - Dunwoody, Georgia | Traveled to Australia ~ Australia & New Zealand

Lauren was a great help with our three-week Australia trip -- she even came to our house for an initial planning session -- and she did an excellent job of booking flights for our eight-leg journey, at surprisingly low cost. Without her we would never have heard of the great snorkeling along Ningaloo Reef in northwest Australia! She was always prompt and professional, thorough and knowledgeable. We most appreciated her help when we had a medical emergency late in the trip and needed to delay our departure from Sydney. In response to our email plea, Lauren took charge of the rebooking process and quickly found suitable flights. We have always made our own travel arrangements in the past but we're more than glad that we decided to use Lauren's services for this trip.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Lauren Rock responded:
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

Top notch family travel experience.

Reviewed By Doug - Marietta, GA | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand

Lauren of Dynamic-Escapes provided as superb travel experience for my family. This was the first time I had dealt with any type of travel consultant. I “interviewed” several agents for my trip to Australia, and even though I was impressed with every one of them, I felt confident after speaking with Lauren that she should be my choice. She was not the least bit “sales-y”, and I got a good impression, which proved to be correct, that she is down-to-earth, competent, knowledgeable, and a good (great ! ) person. I chose her for these traits, and her specific knowledge of Australia. During our planning, even though she was abroad researching travel for other clients, she was remarkably responsive to my questions and needs. It quickly became obvious that she is a true travel professional with a sincere desire to provide top quality service. She provided spot-on perfect apartment accommodations and information on excursions. I highly recommend Lauren for travel expertise.

Customer Testimonials

Great Safari In Tanzania!

A couple of folks have asked about how we arranged our safari trip so I thought I'd share that info broadly. We worked with another Galloway alum, Lauren, who runs Dynamic Escapes, LLC. I knew she had been to Africa, and when we came up with this crazy idea I reached out to her immediately. When I told her when we were traveling she immediately knew that Tanzania was the right place for us and ran with putting together the whole experience. Lauren and her partners at Topguides put together an itinerary that built up really well in that we started with what now feels like a "starter safari" which felt amazing and then the experiences built and built from there. Many thanks Lauren Rock!

Peru trip!

We returned from Peru a few days ago and I just wanted to say thank you so much for your help! I believe I can speak for everyone when I say that we had an amazing time. Wilfredo and his family were absolutely marvelous and the sites were all breathtaking. It was extremely convenient to have all hostels and transportation pre-arranged and made for an easy trip. Of course we had to get creative with our return flights due to hurricane Irma but all in all, surely would say it was a once in a life-time trip. Thank you so much,
