About Me

Chief Communications Officer/ Luxury Travel Agent

Hi, I’m Laura! As Chief Communications Officer at Cugina & Cove Travel Co. and a luxury Travel Advisor, I specialize in Deluxe Disney vacations, Luxury Caribbean escapes, and all-inclusive getaways designed with unforgettable moments in mind.

As a wife, mom of three, and dog mama, I know firsthand how valuable it is to have travel experiences that bring families closer together. Some of my family’s favorite vacation memories include watching fireworks from a Theme Park View suite at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, relaxing by the turquoise waters of Grace Bay at Beaches Turks & Caicos, and enjoying romantic anniversary getaways with my husband of over 17 years at places like Sandals, Secrets, The St. Regis, the Ritz Carlton and many more amazing resorts. These experiences inspire me to help my clients discover their own dream destinations tailored to their style, needs, and vision.

Whether you’re looking to indulge in the magic of Disney with all the deluxe details, sip cocktails on a white-sand beach, or enjoy a luxurious all-inclusive retreat, I’ll handle every detail with care so you can focus on creating memories! Reach out anytime! My travel planning services are always free and I would love to help you create your own memories to last a lifetime!

It's an extra layer of insight and a unique advantage! My role keeps me deeply connected to the latest trends, emerging destinations, and exclusive offers. I'm constantly researching and building relationships—skills I directly apply to your trip. Think of it: a dedicated advocate who knows the best places and how to unlock special experiences. I ensure every detail is perfectly communicated, from your itinerary to resort perks. Combining these passions, I ensure your journey is not just planned, but truly perfected.

So Much Easier
Reviewed By Enzo47 - Buffalo | Traveled to Tampa | Florida | USA
Laura found me flights cheaper than I found advertised; and arranged my hotel with rental car. I didn't have to do anything other than show up, and couldn't be happier with the cost. So easy.. I now use her for personal and professional trips. Would recommend to everyone!

Lake Tahoe is a must See
Reviewed By Sarah - Buffalo | Traveled to Lake Tahoe | California | USA
I cannot recommend Laura t highly enough! She helped to plan the most incredible trip to Lake Tahoe, California that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized. The beaches were absolutely stunning - crystal clear waters and pristine sandy shores that felt like paradise. Laura selected the perfect lakefront locations that weren't overcrowded, giving us that peaceful, scenic experience we were hoping for. The boat activities were a major highlight! Whether we were cruising around the lake taking in the breathtaking mountain views or trying our hand at water sports, every moment on the water was magical. Our agent had arranged everything seamlessly, from boat rentals to guided tours. The weather was absolutely fantastic throughout our entire stay - sunny skies and perfect temperatures that made every outdoor activity enjoyable. It's clear our agent timed our visit perfectly to take advantage of the best conditions. The hiking opportunities were phenomenal! Our agent had researched and recommended trails that matched our skill level perfectly, leading us to some of the most spectacular viewpoints I've ever seen. The combination of lake views and mountain scenery was simply breathtaking. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from accommodations to dining recommendations to activity scheduling. Our agent's expertise and attention to detail made this trip absolutely unforgettable. We're already planning our next adventure with them! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional who truly cares about creating the perfect travel experience.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Got me hooked on cruises!
Reviewed By Kwormworth - Pulaski, NY | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
Laura planned the most amazing cruise for us, and she truly made the whole experience effortless. From the moment we decided to book until the day we stepped off the ship, she had every detail covered—our cabin, dining and drink packages, excursions, flights, and even hotels. What really stood out, though, was her genuine care and hospitality. She went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t have to worry about a single thing, which let us focus completely on enjoying our trip. We’re so grateful to her for such a stress-free, unforgettable vacation!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
