You haven't taken your dream vacation because

​
​You have limited time, energy or knowledge to take care of all the trip research and planning yourself.  You find yourself putting it off because, after all, it's not just a weekend getaway and there are a lot of details to consider...

You feel like you are going in circles, becoming overwhelmed and stressed after seeing the tens and hundreds of options online... 

Brain freeze has set in with all this information, making it difficult to understand the differences between the options, which ones match your travel style and which ones are truly a good value... 

You haven't found the expertise and trusted support you need and want (yet). 

When you find yourself nodding YES to one or all of these reasons, you have come to the right place. 

WELCOME!
Providing expertly planned adventures. Every time.
HI! I'm Laurie.
Travel advisor.  Expert planner.  Entrepreneur.
I'm in the business of helping you take your dream vacation and helping you make the best decisions for your valuable and precious travel investment.   

My expertise: Taking on the things you don't have time for, that frustrate you or you'd rather not do (but are required in order for you to have a really nice, well thought out trip) AND expertly matching you with the best experiences for your personality and travel style.

Clients come to me:
  • To take care of travel research, read reviews, filter through all the information (there are a lot of details to consider) and narrow down the best options for your style and budget. 
  • To help sort out the differences with the various supplier options, find the best values.
  • For guidance on choosing the right cruise line and itinerary, given my extensive knowledge and training in river and small ship cruising.  The biggest mistake when taking a cruise is taking the wrong line for your style.  I help you avoid this mistake.   
  • To help manage a group that wants to travel together.
  • For my industry connections that often provide added value, benefits and amenities. 

The end result?  An expertly planned and professionally managed itinerary with all the details and so much more!  I work for you - your trusted resource and partner in travel.  I care that what is recommended is right for you and in your best interest, putting as much into planning your vacation as I do my own.  ​
