As a travel writer and founder of Departful Media, I want to help you plan and book the perfect, personalized trip.

In anticipation of a recent Mediterranean cruise we asked Lauren to create three excursions while at port. We were beyond satisfied with the three experiences and learned more about the history and Renaissance art of Italy in two days than we had in a lifetime. The icing on the cake was that the cost of each excursion was half of what the cruise line was charging for what was bound to be a lesser experience! - Peter D.

Applying a highly professional and engaging approach, Lauren organized an Italian adventure for three couples last year exceeding all of our expectations. She kept close tabs on us and ensured accommodations and excursions were exactly as planned. Her restaurant and museum recommendations were a highlight of the trip! Most impressively, she maneuvered quickly to make arrangements when one of our group had to return home unexpectedly for work. - MaryLynn W.
