Your Expert in European Travel

I’m Laura — a travel advisor with a sharp eye for detail and a deep love for Europe’s rich tapestry of culture, cuisine, and landscapes. My specialty? Crafting custom itineraries that feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable. No cookie-cutter tours. No recycled routes. Just thoughtfully designed journeys, tailored entirely to you.

I’ve spent time living in the UK with my husband and children, using every spare moment to explore the corners of Europe — from the lakes of Switzerland to the coastlines of Italy, the vineyards of France, to the historic heart of England. Those weren’t just vacations — they were the moments that taught me how travel becomes part of who we are. I carry that spirit into every trip I design.

With firsthand experience in Switzerland, Italy, France, England, Germany, and Austria, I offer more than just recommendations — I offer insider access, trusted partnerships, and seamless planning from start to finish. Whether it’s a luxurious escape, a culturally immersive journey, or an adventure-packed itinerary, I build each trip around what matters most to you.

For couples, families, and groups who want something richer than the typical getaway — I’m here to make Europe yours.

My Journey

  • Travel has always been more than just a passion for me, it's woven into my everyday life. My journey as an international trip designer began over a decade ago with a group of wide-eyed high school students boarding a plane to Italy. At the time, I was a teacher, organizing student tours to Europe so my students could experience history, art, and culture beyond the pages of a textbook.

    Those trips were life-changing—not just for the students, but for me. I saw firsthand the magic that happens when someone steps into a new country for the first time: the curiosity, the awe, and the memories that stay with them forever.

  • What started as coordinating student travel soon grew into planning group tours for adults, families, and friends. Before long, I was designingcustom international itineraries for small groups, couples, and families who wanted something more than an off-the-shelf trip.

    I also specialize in river cruising, which allows my clients to unpack once and still explore multiple destinations—sailing along storied waterways like the Rhine, Danube, Rhône, and Seine, all while enjoying world-class service and stunning views.

    Whether it’s a river cruise through the heart of Europe or a 12-day land itinerary weaving together iconic cities and hidden gems, my role is to make the process effortless for you—so all you have to do is pack your bags and enjoy.

  • Planning a trip overseas can feel overwhelming—especially if you don’t have the time or know where to start. That’s where I come in. As a custom travel planner, my goal is to remove the stress and uncertainty from the process.

    I work with travelers who:

    • Want to explore internationally without the hassle of figuring out every detail

    • Don’t have the time to research flights, hotels, and transportation

    • Prefer personalized itineraries instead of cookie-cutter group tours

    • Value expert guidance and insider connections to trusted guides and suppliers

  • From our first conversation, I listen carefully to what matters most to you—your travel style, pace, interests, and must-see destinations. Then, I design a fully customized travel plan that includes:

    • Carefully chosen accommodations that match your preferences and budget

    • Seamless transportation arrangements (rail, flights, transfers, cruises)

    • Private tours and unique experiences tailored to your interests

    • Detailed travel guides so you feel confident navigating your trip

    • Ongoing support before, during, and after your journey

  • Sure, you can book a flight and hotel online—but will that give you a stress-free, immersive experience? A trip designer offers something the internet can’t:

    • Expert knowledge of destinations and travel logistics

    • Connections with trusted local guides, drivers, and cruise partners

    • Time savings so you can focus on living your life instead of planning

    • Peace of mind knowing you have someone in your corner if plans change
