My Story
I’m your go-to for adults-only getaways, solo travel or couples trips who has explored Mexico from coast to coast and destinations in between.
My Travel Style
I am an eclectic traveler who has visited over 30 countries, some as an adventuring digital nomad and others as a boutique luxury traveler. I love spending the day in a new place visiting a local market or taking a sailing excursion and ending it at a rooftop bar, making new friends over a craft cocktail. I specialize in helping solo travelers or couples find the perfect getaway for any occasion. Whether it’s a wellness weekend retreat, an adventure-filled stay in a jungle lodge, or a celebratory anniversary trip to a resort & spa. I also love planning trips for groups of friends to the top all-inclusives. Mexico holds a special place in my heart, from the vibrant vacation hotspots of Cancun and Los Cabos—where I got married!—to the cultural treasures of Guadalajara and Oaxaca. My maps app is filled with hidden gems and must-see spots across the country that I am eager to share!

Lauren is the best! So accommodating with all my special requests. I can’t rave enough about her. Honestly having a travel agent that takes this much care and attention to her craft is such a blessing. I’ll say giving up control of your vacation can be unnerving but with a pro like Lauren you’re in great hands.

Lauren Chapman is the consummate professional! And as someone that used to plan corporate travel conferences, she listens to her client, provides just what you need, and when requested times for services are not available, gives you options. We felt so confident in Lauren, that we were able to relax and just wait for the day to arrive. She gently reminded us when to finalize our commitment, and once booked, confirmed everything, and sent us reminders... the best part, since this was our 31st anniversary, just as we were settling into our room, a lovely box of chocolates arrived, with a personal note from Lauren! We'll never travel without Lauren again -- it's like having your own personal concierge!

Lauren helped me plan a two week trip to Italy through every step from overall itinerary to transportation between cities to the best part of town to stay in. She saved me time and stress by sharing options within my desired budget and coordinating directly with the accommodations. Right before the trip there was the possibility of a change to my needs and she immediately reached out to hotels to understand the impact of this change. In Florence, Lauren sent me detailed instructions to enable an after hours check in so I wouldn't have to worry about getting the room keys. I recommend Lauren as your Fora travel advisor!
