Travel, thoughtfully planned

Memorable trips for clients who'd rather be on the trip than planning it.
I'm Laura, a travel advisor. I design bespoke itineraries, built around your taste.

Travel has been part of my life as long as I can remember. My father is a member of the Explorers Club who has been to every continent and almost 90 countries, and I grew up being quizzed on world capitals and playing Carmen Sandiego. By college I'd spent a semester living with a French family in Paris and studied theater in London. A few years later, I found myself practicing corporate law while daydreaming of itineraries to India at my desk between deals. I spent several years at home with the kids before coming back to travel — this time as a career. Today I plan trips full-time from North Carolina, where I live with my husband and our two sons.

Travel has been my whole life — eventually it became the job too.

Hotel matchmaking, beautifully done. I'll find the right hotel for your trip, handle the transportation logistics and entry requirements, and book it through my partner network — so you arrive with extras that don't show up when booking direct. The specific perks vary by property, but typically include a complimentary upgrade, breakfast, a hotel credit, or early check-in when available.

"This was honestly the most stress-free trip we have ever taken."

Melinda and Jack

Laura planned our trip to Paris and London, and everything was flawless. She made sure everything was handled ahead of time — flights, airport and hotel transfers, restaurant reservations, tours — so all we had to do was show up and begin our vacation. This was honestly the most stress-free trip we have ever taken. I will not vacation again without contacting Laura first.

of where next!"


Parker Family

Completely amazing trip getting to see both Italy and Switzerland with my husband and two boys. Laura had access to the best private tour guides, recommended stunning hotels, and booked fantastic restaurants — and the app gave us details on everything to make the logistics a breeze. We are already thinking of where next!

"Laura listened to what we wanted & delivered a first-class experience."

Marybeth and Chad

We had an amazing 25th anniversary trip to Greece that was planned perfectly. Everything was seamless, and not having to worry about transportation from place to place was such a relief. The recommendations for accommodations and activities were top notch. It was an unforgettable, easy, and relaxing vacation. Laura listened to what we wanted and delivered a first-class experience. I can't wait for the next one.
