On the map, there are a silver vintage camera, a pair of black sunglasses, a blue United States passport, a white coffee cup filled with coffee, and two other cameras. A silver laptop is also visible on the left side of the image.

The internet is full of options, but information isn't insight—and most travelers see a hotel where we see an opportunity for an upgrade. When you choose The Travel EDIT, you’re gaining an industry insider and a personal advocate who cuts through the noise to find your "perfect."

My Services are Complimentary!

You will not pay any more than booking on your own - promise!

There are many reasons to book with Laura at the Travel EDIT.

But a big one is the complimentary travel perks you automatically unlock when you let me do all the heavy lifting for you.

We are a part of Fora Host agency where I can access VIP perks and benefits at over 5,500 hotels around the world, thanks to Fora’s preferred status at these partner properties. Preferred partner programs — like Four Seasons Preferred, Virtuoso, Rosewood Elite and Hyatt Privé, to name a few — are akin to exclusive clubs. Such programs are often invitation ONLY and require inductees (like Fora) to meet certain milestones and criteria.

And the exclusivity is merited: Perks include things like complimentary spa treatments, upgrades, special amenities, daily breakfast and extended check-in/out times. Such benefits can’t be offered to everyone.

In other words, when you book with me, you’ll be treated like a VIP virtually wherever you go.

Growing up, my world was shaped by the hum of my family’s business. Joining them at conventions across the country turned every city into a mini-vacation—a chance to explore new cultures, meet new people, and discover the hidden soul of a destination. That early spark for adventure eventually led me to Johnson & Wales University in Providence, where I immersed myself in the art of hospitality and culinary excellence.

I spent over a decade in the high-end event world of New England, planning everything from luxury weddings across Rhode Island and Massachusetts to intimate social dinners. I have always lived at the intersection of travel, food, and design. Whether I was coordinating a complex itinerary or, later on, designing the perfect wedding cake back home in Missouri, my focus has always been the same The Details and Service.

For me, the transition into travel planning was natural. I don't just book trips; I design experiences. That a trip is more than just a destination; it’s about the perfect meal, the seamless flow of the day, and the joy of discovery. Whether you’re looking for a hidden gem in a coastal town or a perfectly planned family adventure, I use my decades of planning experience to ensure your next journey is nothing short of memorable.
