About Me

Beach destinations
Beach destinations

Let me start off by introducing myself.  My name is Lauren and I am the founder and owner of Platinum Dreams Travel Concierge as well as a wife and mother of 4.  Since I was a child I have always loved to experience new surroundings, cultures and adventures through travel. Travel is not only a passion but a way of life for me and my family.  Not only was I lucky enough to travel throughout my childhood and gain so much from it, I have also been fortunate to travel throughout my adult life with and without my family. 

My absolute favorite part of traveling is immersing myself in the surroundings of my destination and experiencing all the local culinary delights that are unique to an area.  If there is one thing in life that truly makes me feel a sense of bliss, it is traveling somewhere I have never been. 

I have been in the travel industry since 2017 and have an extensive knowledge and expertise in many areas of travel including luxury travel, honeymoons, family travels, solo travel, and celebration travels.  Through my personal and professional knowledge I am able to create a unique and personal experience right from our first initial consultation call until the moment you arrive home.  As a personal travel concierge I strive to curate the perfect trip tailored to your travel dreams and specific needs all while providing exceptional concierge services. 

If you are looking to fulfill your bucketlist and travel dreams, then I would love to work with you.  Whether you are wanting to sail in the south of France, sip wine in your private Villa in the rolling Hills of Tuscany, visit the European Christmas markets, a honeymoon in Bali, or just want to sit back in a beach side cabana at an all inclusive resort, I am here to assist you.

Luxury Beach Destinations

The world is filled with amazing beach destinations and I am here to help you explore them. Whether you have a beach destination in mind or need inspiration, I will be with you every step of the way.

Client Testimonials

Always Amazing
I have been working with Platinum Dreams the lat 5 years and our experiences have always been great. Lauren knows her stuff, doesn't compromise quality, is there if anything goes wrong or to answer questions and goes above and beyond. We have traveled on about 12 trips ranging from a weekend getaway to 6 weeks traveling throughout Europe and enjoying everything from the beaches to the country side where we have experienced so much and right down to the tiniest details, everything was planned out. HIGHLY recommend Platinum Dreams to anyone who wants quality, great service and an amazing trip.

Made my trip so much less stressful
We booked a trip with Lauren to St. Lucia. I always did on line booking on my own, I will use Lauren going forward. Lots of great information, prompt service, even while we were on our vacation. Made my trip so much less stressful.

Our dream honeymoon
Lauren went above and beyond for our honeymoon vacation. We couldn't of dreamed of what she was able to provide us and was available to us at a moments notice. She made us feel like we were her only clients and I would and always do recommend her to anyone and everyone that mentions travel.

Personalized Vacations and Great Deals
Looking for a dream vacation at a steal of a deal? Then you better call Lauren!!! Seriously though, Lauren always comes through with great all-inclusive deals and will NOT (I repeat NOT) sell you on a resort that is anything less than the best! She always has an honest opinion and works with you to find a vacation tailored to your every whim! Don't spend much time at the beach, but love fancy a la carte dinners? Lauren's got a resort for that ;) I cannot wait for COVID19 to be over so I can book my next vacay with Lauren!!!

It's not just the destination, it's the journey
The best travel agent EVER! Lauren has booked me on a amazing vacations. More importantly she was there every step of the way when things didn't go as planned! Unfortunately my last vacation booked had to be canceled because of the state of the world. She has rallied and been my voice, and made it a painless experience for me (even though I know it was difficult for her). I've had Lauren on speed dial when we have had small problems with flights and checking in at Mexico destinations. She has worked tirelessly to ensure my family had the best experiences possible. Lauren your hard work is not unnoticed and is so appreciated. I wish I could pay you back for all your kindness! Thank you for all you do.

Solo in Bali
I highly recommend booking your next trip through Lauren! I just returned from a solo 3 week trip to Bali and Lauren was absolutely AMAZING from our first conversation in determining the best and safest destination for my first solo trip, to her expertise in selecting my accommodations and excursions. Lauren is on top of everything and is so diligent and committed to her clients. She was in contact with me by fb Messenger throughout my trip. I will continue to book all my travel through Lauren in the future. She is the ultimate Travel Concierge who really cares
