Travel style

My travel style is a versatile spectrum that spans from the rugged charm of budget backpacking through Vietnam to the refined elegance of exploring Greece with a luxurious touch. Whatever the desire of your heart, I am here to curate an experience that aligns perfectly with your preferences. Having lived in both Hong Kong and Singapore, I possess a unique and insightful perspective into the world of Southeast Asian travel, allowing me to unlock hidden gems and tailor journeys that encapsulate the region's rich cultural tapestry.

Drawing from my tenure at prestigious luxury hotels like the Malibu Beach Inn and Ojai Valley Inn, I possess an intimate understanding of the expectations and desires of high-end clientele when it comes to choosing a destination. Whether it's a solitary traveler seeking an immersive personal experience or a group embarking on a celebratory expedition, my expertise knows no bounds. I am dedicated to continually expanding my network of suppliers and enhancing my knowledge of local tours and operators through biannual travel, ensuring that each itinerary I create is infused with the latest insights and opportunities for an unparalleled travel experience.

Lauren 's reviews

She’s soooo nice, professional and so easy going. Anytime I had questions she was on it straight away. She really did understand my needs and my budget range. I look forward to booking more trips with Lauren in the future and I have already recommended her to a few of my friends.

Lauren is a pro! She is very knowledgable, professional, responsive - all attributes to make our trip easy and smooth. From booking hotels with great perks, to making restaurant reservations in foreign languages, activity tickets, to email updates on change of flights - she made our trip completely seamless. One experience with Lauren made my stepmom change travel agents after over a decade! Speaks volumes to her outstanding service!

Lauren was extremely helpful before and during the trip as we had to call some last minute changes. I didn't believe we needed a travel consultant but I am glad I called her. She made our plans come together nicely. We had a great trip. We had great experiences with the tours she arranged. We will definitely use her again and we would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

Lauren is the best. I always feel like she deeply cares about me having a great trip, as if she was planning it for herself. After helping us find a hotel, she followed a little closer to our trip to ask if she could assist with other bookings to help make our stay more enjoyable, which was super appreciated because I hadn't had time to think through it yet. She's also not pushy and doesn't make me feel bad for saying "no," which I've experienced with some other Advisors and it leaves me with a bad feeling. I've already used Lauren to help plan another trip this year - highly recommend!
