About

Meet the advisor

 “Travel is the ultimate storyteller—each journey weaving a new chapter filled with unexpected adventures, delightful surprises, and moments that transform the way we see the world. I’ve always believed that travel is not just about the destination; it’s about the stories we collect along the way. That belief guides every trip I plan, ensuring each client’s adventure is as uniquely memorable as theirs.    

 There’s something incredibly rewarding about helping families unlock new destinations that spark joy for all ages—from the wonder-filled realms of Disney Theme Parks to hidden treasures that create lifelong memories. I specialize in crafting personalized journeys that bring smiles to little ones and relaxation to parents alike. At the same time, I’m passionate about turning ‘one day’ dreams into ‘done it!’ achievements by curating bucket list experiences for adults seeking extraordinary adventures.

As a Certified Travel Industry Executive and Director of our agency, I have the privilege of leading our talented team with a commitment to excellence. Over the years, I’ve developed strong relationships with many of our preferred suppliers and earned numerous industry certifications, ensuring my clients receive VIP treatment and exclusive benefits. 

When you work with me, you can expect a personalized and professional touch every step of the way. I listen closely to your travel dreams and needs, then tailor every detail to create a seamless, stress-free experience. From insider tips to thoughtful extras, I’m dedicated to turning your vision into reality while handling the logistics so you can focus on the fun. Your journey isn’t just a trip—it’s a story waiting to be told, and I’m here to help write it with you.”

I have extensive knowledge of the cruise industry as one of my personal passions is to take a cruise vacation with my family and friends. Sailing is one of the best ways to see the world with it's many port options and itineraries.

The Personal Touch

I bring a personal touch that turns travel planning from a chore into a joyful journey. I don’t just plan trips; I build lasting relationships by truly listening to your dreams and needs. Every detail is tailored to create a seamless, extraordinary travel experience. Once, a client became ill on their way to a cruise port and called me in distress. The relief in their voice when I answered showed the trust I work hard to earn. I managed all arrangements behind the scenes, providing support and peace of mind. To my clients, I’m more than a travel advisor—I’m a dependable friend who’s always there.

Great trip and she made the difference!

“She held a Zoom call with our whole family to explain our first Disney cruise and recommended the new Disney ship Destiny. When I became concerned about mobility issues late in the process, she promptly arranged for an accessible cabin—even while on vacation—which made a big difference for me. She is very professional and friendly and would use her for our next cruising adventure. ”

Once again one of the best trips of our lives

“Laura, Absolutely hit this one out of the park. Great Job”

Darren — Medina, Ohio · Antigua & Barbuda | Caribbean

Wow!

★★★★★

“I can’t thank Laura enough. We booked a huge family trip to celebrate my son graduating boot camp and when he got his orders and was no longer able to make the trip, she made the pivot completely painless. I was devastated he couldn’t come, but everything she did took every second of possible worry on trip planning off of my plate. Completely above and beyond. The trip itself started as just a cruise and with Laura’s guidance, it became a trip our younger kids will never forget. She thought of everything. We will be reaching out again for the next one! ”

CleMarineMom — Cleveland, OH · Bahamas | Caribbean

Amazing first of hopefully many more trips to come

★★★★★

“I have horribly high anxiety and the thought of travel always ended up outweighing the desire. Laura made everything so easy, and was super responsive to help ease any concerns I might have had. It was our first resort vacation, but will definitely not be our last. Thank you Laura, couldn't have (or should I say wouldn't have) done it with you!!”

Cindy Clark — Amherst, Ohio · Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
