Travel style

I consider life a journey and choose to enrich mine through travel, discovering new cultures, landscapes and cuisines. Meeting new people and learning about different ways of living brings me joy, highlights the vastness of the world and educates me in a way that nothing else can. Never a fan of the routine or the mundane, getting away is my opportunity to embrace a new perspective and savor the adventure that lies ahead. While traveling, I love uncovering boutique properties, hidden gems and neighborhood restaurants, all while getting to know the locals and immersing myself in their culture. I adore traveling with my family and also cherish alone time with my husband. Some days you can find me feasting at a Michelin-starred restaurant; on others, a hole-in-the-wall with amazing food. Whether it's relaxing beach time, a rigorous five-mile hike in the mountains, or a zipline through the jungles of Central America, I try to be creative in my itinerary design, including equal amounts of relaxation and adventure. Let this passionate planner help you craft your next amazing journey, filled with exciting memories and unforgettable moments.

Laurie's reviews

Laurie was fantastic to work with. I highly recommend her! I had already started to plan and she was happy to do as little or as much as I needed. She steered me to great activities. I was especially pleased with the final itinerary in the app that included all of the bookings (the ones I made AND the one the ones that she made), including all of our tickets and QR codes. She definitely took our trip to Paris to the next level!

We recently returned from a transatlantic cruise to Portugal, followed by a week of exploring the country—and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly, all thanks to Laurie’s incredible planning. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and her expertise truly made a difference.

From the cruise to the land tours, everything was seamless and stress-free. We felt well taken care of the entire time and were able to just relax and enjoy the experience.

Thank you, Laurie, for helping make this trip so special. We’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure with you!

Laurie picked the perfect proprty for us to stay for our first time in the Tuscany region. She demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the Tuscany and Florence region, providing valuable insights into different areas and their unique characteristics. It was the perfect base for exploring the Tuscan countryside and immersing ourselves in the local culture. It also was perfectly located to explore Florence during the day yet still be able to return to the resort to relax in the evenings.

Laurie's professionalism, personalized service, and attention to detail are truly exceptional.

Laurie Harris was amazing. She listened carefully to our needs and set to work immediately to find the perfect fit for us. We could not have been happier with the way she responded to our requests and questions, and we could not have been given better service. When travel arrangements are called for in the future, I will definitely contact Laurie. From first contact with Laurie to the end of our stay it was an A+ experience all around.
