About Me

I'm a passionate traveler with a deep love for ancient history and reading. Exploring new places and learning new cultures is one of the top reasons I started working in the travel industry. I cherish sharing these experiences with my husband and our four children. I also enjoy the occasional adult-only getaway, where I can unwind and explore new adventures with my husband. One of my favorite things to do in each destination we visit is to try the local coffee and spend time touring that location's library. 

Travel is my way of connecting with the world, and I believe every journey, whether with family or on my own, enriches my life in unforgettable ways!

Alaska Vacation
Reviewed By Steve & Kris - Warrenville, IL | Traveled to Alaska | USA
We had an incredible experience working with our travel agent, Lauren, for our Alaskan cruise. From the very beginning, she made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Lauren took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped us choose the perfect itinerary. We choose Holland American based on her recommendation. Her knowledge of Alaska and cruising was invaluable, and every detail was handled seamlessly. We truly felt taken care of the whole way through. Highly recommend Lauren for anyone planning an Alaskan adventure!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Alaska
Reviewed By Mason - Illinois | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Our first trip to Alaska. Lauren recommended two cruise lines and our itinerary. She suggested we fly directly to Anchorage and return from Vancouver due to the shorter flight home after our cruise. Once we chose the cruise line Lauren chose our room for us and it was perfect. We will definitely utilize her skills again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

2nd Cruise - Disney Treasure
Reviewed By NicLeigh - New Waterford, OH | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
We went on a 7 night cruise on the Disney Treasure and couldn't have had a better time! Leading up to the cruise, Lauren was always very helpful and responsive to any questions or requests that I've had. This was my 3rd Disney trip using Lauren as my TA and I will continue to trust her with my vacations. Thanks so much!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
