We have lots of clients in the South of France this month and I'd be lying if I said I was incredibly envious of them 🇫🇷 September is my favorite month to visit Europe!

It's also not too early to start thinking about Summer 2024. We are already working on lots of exciting Europe trips next summer. Plan ahead and you'll have the best selection of hotels, rooms, and more favorable rates.

just back from 🇮🇹...⁠

Thanks again for planning a trip of a lifetime. The villa was spectacular and the surrounding area was beautiful. The managers could not have been more wonderful. The chef and meals were incredible. All travel arrangements with limos, trains, etc. went off without a hitch. Capri was the highlight of the trip. We did daily hikes, ate too much food and spent too much on clothes. As you predicted, the boat trip around Capri and up the Amalfi coast was indescribable. What a lifetime memory.⁠

Creating lifelong memories like this for our clients makes me so happy and is why I do what I do! ⁠

Grey’s first trip was a success! We had so much fun bringing him up to the Bay Area to spend time with my family and friends. He was an angel on the plane…I think he’s going to love flying and traveling just as much as his mama ✈️

For those of you with kids…tell me in the comments below some of your favorite places you traveled to with your babies! After the successful trial run I’m eager to get some trips on the calendar for 2023! 🌎

Have you ever wished that you could make your own simple hotel reservation and receive the same exclusive perks + amenities you receive when booking with ? If you answered “YES” I have just the tool for you…⁠

When you already know where you want to go and do not need our assistance, look no further than the Virtuoso Hotel Booking Portal. ⁠

I set this up for you to use while I’m out on maternity leave and for those times (maybe late and night or on a weekend) that you want to just quickly book something yourself, while still benefiting from the perks you receive when booking through me.⁠

The best part is that we will still always follow up with the hotel to ensure all special requests, Virtuoso amenities, and VIP status are added to your stay!⁠

Meet Courteney, the newest member of the team! Courteney joined me earlier this spring and will be my support system through the fall while I’m out on maternity leave. If you haven’t met Courteney yet, I know you will love working with her. ⁠

Hi! I’m Courteney…lover of mocktails, breakfast tacos, and tropical beaches. Here a few fun facts about me:⁠

~ I grew up in Southern California, attended SMU in Dallas and have been living down in Austin, Texas ever since!⁠

~ I am an animal lover and we most recently welcomed a Golden Retriever puppy, Auddie, into our family!⁠

~ International travel has always been my favorite, and during COVID I discovered I also love roadtrips to National Parks, Zion and Bryce Canyon have been my favorite so far!⁠

~ The number one place on my bucket list right now is Japan (I was born there!)…hoping for spring 2023 during cherry blossom season!⁠

I look forward to working together!

Croatia has been a popular destination for clients this season and for good reason! 🇭🇷⁠

This destination has so much to offer from incredible natural beauty and coastlines, untouched islands to explore, and a unique food and wine scene. ⁠

These are some of our favorite experiences to arrange for LGTC clients while visiting Croatia:⁠

🚤 a day out on a private boat to explore the Elafiti Islands or a multi-day charter to visit lesser known islands like Mljet, Lastovo, and Vis⁠

🦪 a gastronomy tour of the Peljesac Peninsula, complete with fresh oysters and local wines⁠⁠

🚲 a bike tour through the countryside of Hvar, ending with lunch and wine tasting on a local farm⁠

👟 a private walking tour of Dubrovnik’s famous city walls⁠⁠ or a Game of Thrones tour to see famous filming sites like King’s Landing⁠

Have you ever been to Croatia? If not, is it on your radar? I’d love to connect and tell you more about this wonderful country!

PRO TIPS for planning a babymoon 👶

This past May my husband and I traveled to the Maldives for our own magical babymoon. Below I’m sharing some tips to keep in mind when planning a babymoon! ⁠

🏝 Experience - Have a conversation with your partner about the type of vacation and experience you are hoping to have before baby comes. For us it was relaxing in a beautiful, warm place and spending quality time together. ⁠
🇲🇻 Destination - This is very personal and everyone’s comfort level is different. My husband and I honeymooned in the Maldives back in 2018 and always knew we wanted to return. We also know that we’re not going to be taking any 15+ hour flights once he’s here (at least for awhile!) so this was a perfect opportunity for get back to the Maldives just the two of us. ⁠
📆 Timing - Plan to travel sometime in your second trimester before you’re too uncountable (or big). Some airlines have restrictions against pregnant women flying after a certain point. Always check with your doctor to make sure they are okay your dates and destination. We traveled when I was 26 weeks.⁠
✈️ On the Airplane - Get up and walk around every hour or so, wear compression socks, and take one baby aspirin which all reduce your risk of blood clots. Don't forget to book an aisle seat because you'll be getting up a lot!⁠
♥️ Enjoy your time together! This is a really special opportunity to spend quality time with your partner before baby comes and your life changes forever!⁠

Whether you’re dreaming of staying near or traveling far, at we’re here to help plan your perfect babymoon! ⁠

Don't you wish you could trade your Thursday view for these?! ⁠

Lucky clients will be enjoying these endless views at this week as one couple celebrates their 15th wedding anniversary and another celebrates a 45th birthday at one of our favorite St. Barths hotels!⁠

Thanks to booking with and my partnership with and the they both received a room upgrade at time of booking, daily breakfast at , €170 food + beverage credit, airport transfers, and a rental car to explore the island. Of course they will also greeted with bubbles and other fun surprises! ⁠⁠

Honeymoon clients just returned from Italy and Greece and had the sweetest things to say about working with ...⁠

"We cannot say enough good things about Lauren! She exceeded all of our expectations and provided us with the most memorable two week honeymoon. From the start, Lauren answered all of our questions in a very timely manner and worked with us to map out our two week trip to Italy and Greece. Every detail was taken into consideration and planned perfectly. From the travel, car services, porters to help with our luggage, hotel accommodations, restaurant reservations, boat rides, cooking class- Lauren truly went above and beyond to make sure that every part of our trip was nothing short of perfect. When we arrived at each of our hotels during our trip, there was a note from Lauren with treats and wine waiting for us in our room. We loved this personal touch so much! This is one of the many ways that Lauren shows how she goes the extra mile for her clients. Thank you Lauren for planning a trip that we will never forget! We are so grateful for you." - S+B⁠

🚨Pro Tips for Summer Travel🚨⁠

Summer travel is well underway and things are busier than ever! If you’re traveling this summer or fall, please pack your patience and be prepared for unexpected changes. We’ve also put together some tips to help you prepare for your summer travels:⁠

✈️ Due to pilot and crew shortages, countless flights are getting cancelled and delayed. Check in online 24 hours prior to your flight and make sure you aren’t affected ⁠

🛫 Get to the airport early, like really early! We recommend at least 3 hours for international flights. Airports have never been busier or more crowded. ⁠

🧳We’ve never seen so many lost and delayed bags as we have this past month. Go carry on if you can and if that’s not possible bring at least one carry on bag with 3-4 days worth of essentials. We also highly recommend AirTags.⁠

📄Make sure you have at least basic travel insurance to cover you for the unexpected⁠

✔️Triple check your passports to make sure they are not expired AND have at least 6 months of validity beyond your trip dates⁠

📅Book all dining reservations in advance. This is not the summer to “wing it”⁠

😊Be kind and tip well. People are working hard this season and doing the best they can during this busy time. Kindness goes a long way!⁠

⛵️Things will likely not go as perfectly as planned. Try to stay flexible and make the best of it. Remember that traveling is a privilege! ⁠

Happy Travels!

hotel crush:

This gorgeous hotel opened last year and is quickly becoming the new "it" spot of the Amalfi Coast. I visited last September and instantly fell in love with it. ⁠

Borgo Santandrea is home to one of the only private beach clubs on the coast and has the most pristine beach (look at the color of the water!) The design is on point and the food is to die for. ⁠

Two separate sets of clients check in here this week and we could not be more excited for them to experience the magic!

Baby boy arriving this August and Boyd and I could not be more excited!⁠

This lucky guy has already been to French Polynesia, Maui, Chile, Uruguay, France, Italy, and the Maldives and we can’t wait to show him even more of the world 🌎⁠

I also know how hard these announcements can be to see. If you’re trying to conceive, have experienced a loss, or are somewhere else on the pregnancy journey, please know my heart is with you 🤍⁠

Exploring Puglia by car and taking you along with me!

Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, is a peninsula bordered by both the Adriatic and Ionian Sea.

Having your own car here is a must and gives you the freedom to explore the region’s charming, whitewashed towns, stunning coastline, local beaches, and olive groves which account for 40% of Italy’s olive oil production!

The landscape here changes dramatically from one area to the next and driving allows you to not only take it all in, but also pull over and stop whenever your heart desires!

Follow along this week on stories as I take you with me on my road trip through Puglia!

Staying at was an absolute dream!

This special hotel which is located within the grounds of Versailles, makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time and woken up in another life as Marie Antoinette. Guests of gain after hours access to the Palace of Versailles and can participate in royal experiences like horseback riding through the gardens, afternoon tea time, and a royal feast each evening.

I recommend visiting for a night or two before or after Paris. A once in a lifetime experience, fit for a princess 👑

Hi! I’m Lauren. I know many of you are new around here so I wanted to say hi + reintroduce myself and tell you a little bit about what I do as a luxury travel advisor.⁠⁠

I create personalized, one of a kind travel experiences around the world, through a seamless planning process. I take all the stress out of trip planning so you can enjoy your well-deserved vacation without having to get caught up in all the details. ⁠⁠

Think of me as your go-to gal for any and everything travel related - hotels, resorts, villas, private yacht + jet charters, safaris, unique food + wine experiences, private guides, dining reservations, and so much more!⁠⁠

Each itinerary I design is personalized to match your unique preferences, style, and taste. Just how no two people are the same, no two trips I plan are either.⁠⁠

To put it simply, I absolutely love my job and what I get to do everyday. I feel fortunate to be able to play a role in my client’s special moments.⁠

If you’re new here I would love the opportunity to work with you too. Questions about working together? Drop them below or send me a message. Always happy to chat more!

Tell me! Which of these things do you love?⁠

🖼 interesting art and architecture⁠
🪑beautiful design ⁠
🥘 delicious food⁠
🍷local wines⁠
🚲 fun outdoor activities⁠
🌳 stunning landscapes and natural beauty⁠
all of the above?⁠

If you love any of these things, is the place for you. Located just 2 hours outside of Santiago in the Millahue Valley, Vik Chile is perched on a hill overlooking 11,000 acres of vines, valleys, and the Andes.⁠

Each of the hotel’s 29 suites are uniquely decorated with art from the owner’s private collection and all offer views of the surrounding area. I recommend staying in one of the 7 “puro VIK” glasshouses, which each have a private terrace with a bathtub overlooking the views.⁠

Spend your days visiting the winery, biking and horseback riding through the vineyards and surrounding mountain trails, participating in a cooking class in the garden, or enjoying a yoga class or spa treatment. ⁠

The culinary offerings at Vik Chile feature farm to table South American cuisine which is, of course, paired with Vik wine. ⁠

The best part? All of your meals, wine, and activities are included in your stay at Vik Chile. Trust me, you’re going to love it here! ⁠

Bookmark this post and then reach out when you’re ready to plan Chile. I’d love to chat with you about how this property can be be worked in to a larger South America itinerary or even visited on it’s own!

I'm off today on my first International trip of 2022 where I'll be visiting two countries that I've never been to before! ⁠

See if you can guess where I'm heading...three clues:⁠

1. The first stop is a direct 10-hour flight from LAX⁠
2. The first destination is well known for it's wine and this is the view from where I'll be staying⁠
3. Both countries are in the Southern Hemisphere where it's currently fall⁠

Any guesses?! I'll tell you when I get there tomorrow!

Maui on your mind?⁠

The demand for Hawaii remains strong and Maui continues to be one of the most popular destinations for 2022!⁠

With that comes limited hotel availability, hard to get dining reservations, inflated rental car prices, and more. ⁠

Why not enlist a travel professional like myself to plan your vacation to Maui? When we work together you gain access to unpublished inventory, my insider knowledge and expertise, personal recommendations, and connections on the islands, making your planning experience a breeze! ⁠

As my client you will also always receive these exclusive perks and amenities when staying at our partner hotels:⁠⁠

• Daily full breakfast for two⁠⁠
• $100+ Resort Credit ⁠
• Priority for a room upgrade on arrival⁠
• Early check in / Late check-out, based on availability⁠⁠

The mai tais and sunsets are waiting…the only thing missing is you!
