Hi, I'm Lori Samples
Through my exclusive industry connections, extensive personal travel experience, and detail-oriented approach, I free my clients from having to build their dream trip themselves. Even better? I elevate their trip by packing their itineraries with hidden gems, luxury perks, and unGoogle-able experiences guaranteed to make this vacation one to remember.
I’m a travel planning pro who’s in love with being on the move—and with making the world more accessible to my travel-craving clients. With a background in the corporate sector myself, I know what it’s like to feel that deep yearning to get away someplace special … but to not have a moment of time to plan it yourself.
That's where I come in.

“I will forever book my vacations with her!”
As a busy professional in an extremely stressful industry, vacations are essential. But my schedule allows for zero time to plan them. Now, thanks to Lori, I no longer have that burden. In the past year, Lori has planned two trips for our business, as well as a European vacation. And all three trips were truly amazing experiences!! I credit her extensive knowledge, unmatched attention to detail, and innovative pre-trip consultation process for those outcomes.
