About
Traveling is my passion. From sailing on private yachts along the East Coast to backpacking hut-to-hut across Mont Blanc and being pampered by butlers at 5-star resorts, I love it all. Growing up in a yachting family, my earliest adventures were on private yachts, cruising from Maine to the Caribbean. My first trip to Europe was aboard a yacht, stopping in the Azores, Gibraltar, and Mallorca, before spending a summer exploring the Mediterranean from St. Tropez to Italy. My honeymoon was spent backpacking through Europe, birthdays hiking Mont Blanc, and winters following my ski-racing sons around the world, all the way to the U.S. Ski Team level. I've swum with whale sharks off small expedition cruises, lounged in sky pools in Grenada, and enjoyed 5-star luxury with personal butlers. I live with my passport and Amex ready to go at a moment’s notice. As your travel specialist, I’m here to uncover your passions and create unforgettable experiences tailored just for you. Whether it’s a 5-star resort, luxury cruise, private island retreat, or mountain trek, we’ll make your dream vacation a reality.

A wonderful honeymoon in Jamaica May 2025
Laurie was very helpful in planning our honeymoon at Sandals Montego Bay. As novice travelers, she set our minds at ease with some of the complexities of traveling outside the country. She communicated with the resort to ensure that we were treated exceptionally well on our honeymoon with all the extra surprises in our room. Will definitely reach out for our future travels. Thank you!!

Travel to Jamaica/Mexico
We first met Laurie in 2012 when we were married at her incredible venue in Altamont NY. Her talent, care and attention to detail made our special day unforgettable. That being the case we knew she and Enchanting Escapes were the perfect choice for our vacation travel needs. We have used Laurie's services multiple times for travel to both Mexico and the Caribbean. Her incredible attention to detail makes each trip an amazing adventure! She takes the time to understand your travel goals and endeavors to help you plan the perfect vacation. She helps with planning special details while on vacation as well as planning for every possible thing regarding travel. We had to reschedule our most recent vacation due to hurricane weather very last minute and Laurie was amazing in ensuring every detail was taken care of including finding the best possible dates to reschedule our trip. We just returned from Sandals Dunns River in Jamaica and had an amazing time.
Laurie is the best travel advisor, and we look forward to working with her for years to come. Looking forward to planning many more trips! Thank you Laurie!!
