Travel style
My travel style is all about discovering the heart and soul of a destination. I love exploring historical sites and wandering off the beaten path to uncover hidden gems. From savoring street food to indulging in Michelin-star dining, I seek out authentic culinary experiences that tell a story. For me, travel is about immersing myself in local culture, connecting with people and experiencing each place in a way that is deeply meaningful and memorable.

Lauren's reviews
Lauren was such a pleasure to work with. We had very strict concerns with a few of our needs and she was able to schedule accommodations for all of them. She gave us a wonderful selection for our tour options and every one ended up being amazing. I am really looking forward to continuing to book future family vacations with Lauren and I cannot recommend her enough!
