About Laura

After years of sharing travel itineraries with friends and family, Laura is excited to turn a lifelong passion for travel into a career.

Raised on Carmen Sandiego, Laura loved being quizzed on world capitals at an early age. Her father, who can boast travel to over 80 countries and 7 continents, belongs to The Explorers Club. Highlights from family trips include hiking in the Alps, seeing ancient ruins in Turkey, whitewater rafting in Idaho, and riding the Star Ferry in Hong Kong.

In college at Duke, Laura double-majored in English and French, studying abroad in Paris and London. She continued at Duke Law, spending a summer in Geneva working at an international law firm and studying international law.

She practiced corporate law for several years, while taking time to vacation in Bora Bora (honeymoon), Ireland, Spain, and Morocco. After the birth of her two sons, now ages 9 and 12, she stepped away from full-time legal practice but continued to travel at every opportunity. Her first post-baby trips were to Napa and Tuscany respectively – and many wineries were visited in each location!

Some favorite recent trips include a couple’s getaway to Maine, a family holiday in Antigua, skiing in Utah, a girls’ trip to the Cotswolds, a multi-generational villa vacation in Jamaica, a mother/daughter trip to Paris, a kids’ visit to NYC, and an anniversary celebration in Greece.

Laura thrives on creating detailed, personalized itineraries for her clients that combine high standards in luxury travel while experiencing local food, history, and culture.
