My Story
User researcher by day, travel designer by night—I’m an expert at asking all the right questions and then creating experiences that surprise and delight.
Travel Style
My dream travel day is planned around food, spent immersed in cultural experiences or soaking up awe-inspiring scenery, and capped off with a glass of local wine or spirits. Ahead of touching down in a new destination, you can bet I’ve got every corner of the area mapped out—from off-the-beaten-path eateries to tour schedules and top-notch accommodations. I’ve explored 38 countries and 44 US states, and am equally as happy donning my hiking boots or jumping on a zipline as I am wandering around a quaint local neighborhood or admiring art in a world-famous museum. The thrill of a new place, a new adventure, a new experience remains, and that feeling really can’t be beat.

We loved every minute of our trip! Things we loved and would absolutely do again: Spago! So fun, beautiful, and delicious. Perfect for a birthday dinner! We even met Wolfgang Puck! The chill itinerary The resort! Gorgeous and everyone was so nice! They also had great mele kalikimaka with music everywhere and decor. The pools! We were at the adult pool everyday. It was exactly what we were looking for! We did scope out the other pools as well and were impressed! Being so close to the beach and the mall! We loved getting to walk the property, walk on the beach, walk to the mall and walk around. We enjoyed the car service that hotel had! They were nice and always so quick! The luau was so cool! We probably don't need another do for awhile but this one rocks! We loved having it on property. It was so well done--logistics and show. The Humble Market Kitchin restaurant on property was amazing! They were the daily breakfast buffet and it was always so good! We also did their happy hour one day, perfect snack and drinks when you're planning a later dinner. We also did their Christmas Eve buffet and omg--so good!

Laurel was excellent in helping us plan the trip and also always available to help during the trip. She was very flexible with multiple last minute changes, even an unplanned pregnancy. Many thanks to Fora and Laurel!

Laurel planned the perfect honeymoon for us in Japan. She was so easy to work with—always thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in creating something that felt like us. Every part of the trip was seamless, from the flow of the itinerary to the balance of culture, relaxation, and fun. We loved everything we got to experience, especially the geisha tour, Fushimi Inari, our ryokan stay, and exploring Tokyo’s hidden gems. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and we never had to worry about a thing. We can’t thank Laurel enough for making it all happen. We’ll definitely be planning our next adventure with her.

We had such a great trip planned by Laurel! She had every day planned out, making it so easy for us to enjoy every moment. She answered all of our questions before leaving and made sure everything was set for us so we could just show up and start enjoying ourselves. I cannot recommend working with Laurel enough. From the first call we had with her until the end, she was responsive, thorough, and prepared. Our trip to Italy would not have been the same without her help!
