About Me

Luxury River Cruise Specialist

A passion for travel and helping others led me to a career in travel. Since 1996 I have had the pleasure of helping people travel all over the world. In 2004 I opened Travel By Laura, where I specialize in luxury travel focusing on Europe and river cruising. 

As an avid traveller consulting with me provides you the benefit of first-hand knowledge and over 20 years of experience in the travel industry. I simplify the process of planning your vacation by developing an understanding of what kind of travel experience you are looking for. This helps me create a personalized itinerary to suit your needs. My clients know that they are not alone when they travel. I am always here for them - from the start of the planning process, through their trip, until they arrive safely home.

I love to share my enthusiasm for travel with others and to inspire people to travel. I love learning about different cultures, connecting with locals, and creating lifelong friendships and memories throughout the world. I feel blessed for the many experiences travel has given me over the years, visiting 26 countries throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and North America. I believe that travel is a force for good and one of life's greatest teachers.

Whether you want to travel to be immersed in the local culture, recharge on a beach, reconnect with loved ones or you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime - whatever inspires you, I would love to help you turn that dream into reality.

 

European Specialist

Trevi Fountain Rome  Italy
Trevi Fountain Rome Italy

My speciality is European travel with a focus on culinary experiences and river cruises. I have been passionate about Europe all my life. My first international trip was to Europe, I have lived in Europe and my major in university was European History. I have travelled to Europe many times throughout my career, travelling by train, bus tour, private driver, river cruise and Mediterranean cruising. I have stayed at luxury hotels, vineyards, in castles, small boutique hotels and beautiful cottages in the countryside.  My background translates into an understanding of the options and opportunities and the ability to suit them to your interests resulting in a travel experience that will make Europe uniquely yours.

Excellent Travel Agent
Reviewed By Marsha - White City, SK | Traveled to Australia & New Zealand
I have utilized Laura's services as a Travel Agent for dozens of trips over the last 20 years and would highly recommend her to everyone. She is incredibly thorough and very knowledgeable about the travel industry. Laura's care for her clients is obvious in the attention to detail she provides from single bookings to large group bookings, to insurance purchases.

I am looking forward to booking with her again, when it is safe to travel.
Highly recommended!!
