Why Travel With Lauren
I've been there.
Literally.
Twenty countries across Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean — from the volcanic highlands of the Galápagos to the cobblestone squares of Bruges to the highland villages above Lake Atitlán. That firsthand knowledge is the difference between a trip that looks good on paper and one that feels extraordinary in real life.
While you're running meetings and closing deals, I'm researching the neighbourhood nobody blogs about, the local guide who actually knows the back streets, and the boutique hotel that will make you feel like a local. You focus on anticipating your trip. I'll build it.

Expert-Led, Firsthand Knowledge
I don't recommend what I haven't researched deeply — and often, experienced personally. Every suggestion is rooted in real travel intelligence, not recycled blog posts.
Your Time, Reclaimed
Most clients save 15–20 hours of research per trip. That's not just convenience — it's the difference between dreading trip planning and actually looking forward to your holiday before it begins.
Curated, Never Generic
Every itinerary is built around you — your pace, your interests, your definition of the perfect trip. The Galápagos looks different for a couple celebrating 10 years than for a solo adventurer, and I always take that into account.

About Lauren
"I don't just plan trips. I build the experience I'd want to take myself."
Travel didn't find me in a guidebook. It found me in Belgium, age 16, midway through a three-month high school exchange, standing in a city I'd never heard of six months earlier — and feeling, for the first time, that the world was something you could actually inhabit rather than just visit.
I grew up with beach holidays and Caribbean all-inclusives — wonderful trips, every one of them. But Belgium cracked something open. Italy sealed it. And a month of backpacking Europe between university years with two best friends and a budget we had no business stretching that far? That was the education that mattered.
Since then, I've built a life around going. Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Ecuador, Colombia, the Galápagos. Scotland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and more. I've travelled on shoestrings and in boutique hotels. I've planned every detail obsessively and I've wandered without a plan. I know what works, what doesn't, and where the magic actually lives — which is rarely where the tourist map points.
These days, I take that accumulated knowledge and put it to work for clients who want exceptional travel experiences without the hours of research it takes to plan them properly. People who are busy, intentional, and ready to invest in a trip that actually delivers on the promise of travel.
I don't just know the destinations. I know the questions to ask, the details that elevate a good trip to an unforgettable one, and the difference between a hotel that looks beautiful in photos and one that feels right when you arrive.
If you've always believed the world is bigger and more interesting than your current view of it — you're right. Let me help you see it.
