What is a Travel Advisor?

Travel planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming, and that's exactly where I come in. As your dedicated travel advisor, I take the time to understand who you are as a traveler: your style, your wishlist, your non-negotiables, and your budget. From there, I do the research, make the calls, and handle every detail so that by the time you arrive, all you have to do is enjoy it.

But what sets working with a Fora advisor apart goes deeper than logistics. Through Fora's network of over 5,000 preferred hotel and travel partners worldwide, you'll be recognized as a VIP from the moment you check in - think room upgrades, complimentary breakfasts, spa and resort credits, and the kind of personalized attention that's hard to come by when booking on your own.

I also bring something no algorithm can replicate: genuine, firsthand knowledge. I research and visit properties so my recommendations come from real experience, and I maintain direct relationships with hotel teams so that when something matters, I can make it happen for you.

This is travel, done better.

  • "We had an incredible experience working with Lauren from Fora! From the moment we started planning our trip to Portugal, she was attentive, responsive, and incredibly patient with all of our questions and preferences. Her professionalism and deep knowledge of the area helped us feel confident every step of the way. She went above and beyond to make sure our itinerary was seamless and stress-free, and her recommendations were perfect."

    —Natalie W.

  • "Working with Lauren was probably the best part of our trip! She is extremely knowledgeable and was unbelievably helpful in curating and collaborating on our itinerary. The trip was complicated with many flights, hotels, and transfers, and Lauren made it all seamless. As someone who works in the travel industry myself, I can be quite picky, but Lauren made everything so easy. I would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her for our next trip."

    —Elliot K.

  • "Lauren is a pro! She is very knowledgable, professional, responsive - all attributes to make our trip easy and smooth. From booking hotels with great perks, to making restaurant reservations in foreign languages, activity tickets, to email updates on change of flights - she made our trip completely seamless. One experience with Lauren made my stepmom change travel agents after over a decade! Speaks volumes to her outstanding service!"

    —Mari M.

  • "Lauren is the best. I always feel like she deeply cares about me having a great trip, as if she was planning it for herself. She's not pushy and doesn't make me feel bad for saying 'no,' which I've experienced with other Advisors. She followed up closer to our trip to ask if she could assist with additional bookings, which was super appreciated because I hadn't had time to think through it yet. Highly recommend!"
