About

Former small-town girl with an incredible love for travel, continually exploring the beauty of this world and learning more about the people in it. It brings me so much joy to share this with others as a travel advisor through curation and planning of luxury stays and experiences.

I'm originally from Wisconsin, where I obtained an undergraduate degree followed by an MBA with a marketing focus. Several years ago, I relocated to Houston, became a broker and founded a thriving real estate business with my now-husband. Now, as a travel advisor, I devote the same detail-focused and client-first mindset to creating highly personalized travel recommendations and itineraries for my clients. I'm equally passionate about travel as I am about ensuring my clients' experiences are seamless, stress-free and truly memorable.

My special interests are in planning honeymoons (as a recent newlywed myself), couples' travel, European sightseeing and relaxation and Mexico travel — my husband's birthplace and our second home.

Whether you want to experience the beauty of a new country, fly and flop on a gorgeous beach or go on a multi-stop adventure in style, I'm here to design your travel with the care you deserve.

Travel style

I'm eager to experience all the world has to offer, whether it's a luxe stay in the heart of Santorini, or boutique hotel in the far flung mountains of Mexico. I love longer stays, and giving myself enough time to immerse myself in the destination AND make the most of my hotel's amenities.

Lauren 's reviews

Lauren was absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't have done it without her

Lauren was very knowledgeable and professional and I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. She handled everything from transportation, hotel booking and recommendations on things to do. Will definitely be using her services in the future!

Lauren was such a great help when it came down to picking the hotel. She had so much useful information about all my different options, but she was able to help narrow down to one. I'm so thankful for Lauren's recommendations because I would have never found the hotel we went to without her help. I'm looking forward to booking with her for all my future trips.

Lauren was so helpful! She asked great questions to get a feel for the type of experience we were looking for and turned right around with OPTIONS in less than 24 hours. She took care of everything from booking to transportation to building out an itinerary so all our information could be found in one easy place. She was also responsive leading up to and during our travel if there was anything we needed!
