A Note For You

Hello! I’m Laura.

They always say, “Do what you love.” For me, that has been travel, but it wasn’t until I retired that I had the chance to pursue it. Retirement was wonderful, yet I found myself wanting something that would light me up professionally. Without quite meaning to, I became the go-to trip planner for family and friends. One day, my husband, Mark, said, “You’re always planning trips for us or someone else. Why not make it official?” So I did, and now I’m here to help plan your dream trip.

I grew up one of seven kids in Omaha, with no extended family nearby, so travel was how we stayed close. Our road trips were loud, chaotic, and completely unforgettable. There were summers at the lake cabin with cousins and unhurried visits to grandparents’ homes. My parents took us all over the country but I learned early that a trip isn’t only about the destination. It’s about who you’re with and how much room you have to enjoy them.

There came a long stretch of time when travel took a back seat. Between a busy career and raising a family, there was always a reason to wait for the next trip. I know what it’s like to be the one everybody depends on, and to keep saying “someday.”

Along the way, I noticed something. The people I know don’t lack the desire to travel. They lack the time and energy to plan a trip, and they don’t want the stress of endless research and wondering if they’ve chosen well. They’re capable, accomplished, and already carrying everyone else’s logistics.

That’s why I do this. I get to know what you’re hoping for, who you want to share it with, and what “rested” actually looks like for you. Then I design a trip around you and handle the details through relationships I’ve built all over the world, so all you have to do is show up.

I pay attention to the small things, like how you take your coffee or that your sister hates early mornings, and I remember them. That’s the whole idea: a trip that lets you be present, savor every moment, and come home feeling like yourself again.
