LAUREN'S ORIGIN STORY
My background is the performing arts, and maybe you have seen me on the New York stage, Grease Live! on Fox, or in a Comedy Central sketch. My passion to entertain is connected to everything I do.
I've also worked on the other side of the camera with photography, directing, vocal coaching, stage managing, and comedy writing. My strength for communication and customer service also led me to a 12 year career as a personal assistant for songwriters, choreographers and well-known TV/film celebrities.
ASSOCIATE PRODUCER
Sarah Kruger
Sarah comes to us with a background of over 15 years in portfolio management, and brings her passion for research and commitment to our guests. She has been an Independent Advisor with our team for 3 years before her transition to our in-house team.

As a front line Travel Advisor, the Associate Producer is responsible for marketing to new guests as well as fostering relationships with existing travelers. She works closely with travel vendors to design and send client proposals, pairing travelers with their uniquely customized vacations. She manages each project to make sure all tasks are handled in a detailed and timely fashion. ​​
​
SARAH'S ORIGIN STORY
After many years of being our family's de facto vacation planner (and planning more than a few of my friends' trips too!), I'm so excited to be able to share my love of travel with my guests. I come from a family of adventurers and have lived and travelled all over the US, as well as explored the Caribbean, Europe, and Canada. I now have two little girls who I love making travel memories with (especially at Disney!) and who have opened my eyes to an entirely new way of seeing and exploring our world.
From national parks and tropical beaches to major cosmopolitan cities and the world's most famous theme parks, I craft itineraries for my clients with the same attention to detail I do for my own family.

VICTORIA'S ORIGIN STORY
My love of art and art history naturally led to my love of travel. The years that I lived abroad in the vibrant city of London allowed me to travel extensively throughout Europe. Experiences, which included enchanting visits to Paris, the historic charm of Rome, and the stunning beauty of the Greek Islands, not only broadened my cultural horizons but also deepened my love for discovering new places and sharing these adventures with others.
As a keen photographer, I revel in capturing the beauty of travel, from the architectural wonders of iconic cities to the serene landscapes of picturesque countryside. This enthusiasm fuels my dedication to planning unique and personalized travel experiences for our guests that are both memorable and enriching. Let’s get packing!
