Lauren Cardinale, Founder
Lauren knows the travel industry inside and out and approaches travel planning with an insider’s eye. After working for 5-star hotels and global tour operators, she has spent over a decade as a travel advisor to couples, families, leisure and corporate groups, and high-profile clientele from Hollywood to the NFL. In 2024 she was awarded her 4th consecutive Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist, a recognition reserved for “industry superstars who pull off the impossible.”
She shares her secret sauce: “The best way to describe my job is as a memory maker. When designing a vacation, I tailor it to your custom wishes while encouraging you to step outside of the box. I have the local connections and personal destination knowledge to make sure your vacation meets then exceeds your expectations.”
The best way to describe my job is as a memory maker. And I don’t take that designation lightly.
Lauren currently lives in her hometown of New Orleans, LA, although she has called Seattle, WA and Auburn, AL home over the years. She is married to her best friend and biggest stowaway, *ahem* supporter, Doug, They enjoy sharing the world with sons Luca and Max and daughter Camila Kate.
