Meet Lauren - Owner | Lead Travel Designer

Hi! I’m Lauren! I was born in Mississippi, but grew up in Tennessee. I moved to Dallas, TX in 2013 with my husband. I am a full-time pharmacist working with oncology patients at a large hospital in Dallas. In 2019, I began designing travel experiences when I realized that my passion went above what my friends and family wanted to hear about –haha. I have always loved to travel and when I started as a travel advisor, every thing just clicked!

I have been to Mexico more times than I can count! I have been fortunate to stay at a wide variety of resorts. With over 150 resorts in the Riviera Maya alone, I believe there is definitely a right fit for you! Mexico is one of my favorite destinations to plan and book for my clients. I also specialize in destination weddings at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean and I am certified through Destination Wedding University as well as a WOW specialist.

During pharmacy school, I studied abroad in Thailand for 6 weeks, where I lived in Chiang Mai and Khon Kaen. I have traveled extensively across Europe, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, and Mexico. Being a Pharmacist, I am detail-oriented (some say type-A), efficient, loves great communication, and getting off the beaten path at your typical “tourist” destinations.

Some of my favorite European countries are Greece, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, and Hungary. I can’t wait to check off more countries from my list and I look forward to continuing to travel with my husband, Jarad, and our little girl, Charlie.

Through my partnerships with Departure Lounge and Virtuoso, I love to get that VIP treatment experience for you and your family, oftentimes, getting additional perks added!

Where to next? I am heading to Grand Cayman in January for an amazing stay at Palm Heights. Next up, I will be going to Park City for my first ever ski trip in February followed by 2 weeks in New Zealand! To round out the year, I am heading back to Greece in August and I cannot wait to visit again!
