Personalized travel planning for families, couples + groups ↓

When we ran into each other in June, she was ready to make an international getaway happen — but not quite as excited about all the research and details that go into planning one.

I said that’s what I love to do, and the rest is history 😊

We landed on Portugal, and they had quite a wish list: the landscapes of the Douro Valley, Catholic heritage in Fátima, beautiful architecture, history and as much coastal scenery as possible.

I mapped out a couple of possible routes to bring their priorities together within a one-week stay. They ultimately chose Porto → Lisbon plus day trips, so I lined up boutique lodging in the heart of each city, local partners for small-group tours and a hands-on cooking class to help them make the most of their time.

With a personalized itinerary and the logistics and details sorted, they could spend less time figuring things out and more time enjoying this magical destination!

I find so much joy in helping busy people make the trip happen ✨ If colorful culture, Old-World charm, dramatic coastal views and incredible cuisine sound like your kind of trip, Portugal is worth a look!

Labor Day Weekend has come and gone along with my birthday (thanks for all the love!)

While it may still feel like summer, I can tell the days are getting shorter, and I’m dreaming about the cozy seasons ahead! 🍂

I’ve got a list of fall, festive + cozy winter getaway ideas coming in my newsletter this month — from scenic road trips and memorable stays to slow rail journeys.

If you’re thinking about making travel plans for the months ahead, I’d love to share it with you!

If Alaska is on your someday list, now is a great time to start exploring 🏔️

Anyone else start thinking about fall travel as soon as back-to-school season hits? 🙃

There's something about fall that always makes me think of road trips. The crisp weather, changing leaves and seasonal flavors make it such a beautiful season to slow down and take the scenic route!

After our October wedding, my husband and I spent our first few anniversaries exploring different corners of the country by car. Those trips reminded me that you don’t have to limit yourself to the “classic” fall destinations.

Swipe through for a few classic + unexpected routes I’m recommending for the season ahead!

Where would you add to the list?

I think some people assume travel planning ends once the trip is booked.

In reality, some of the most important work happens in the days and weeks leading up to departure!

Today, I’ve been reviewing final safari documents and confirming details with partners to make sure everything is in place for my clients’ bucket list trip next month.

My hope is that by connecting all the dots behind the scenes, my clients can spend the days before their trip feeling excited instead of wondering what they might be forgetting. And when they’re away, they can simply enjoy the journey ✨

Anyone else obsessively following Freddy and all the World Cup tourists experiencing America for the first time?

There's something so special about seeing others discover places you know and love.

That perspective is what I cherished most about my years in tourism and hospitality welcoming people from all over the world to Paducah, and it’s one of the reasons I now love helping families, couples and friends plan more meaningful travel.

Travel is powerful. You don't truly know a place or a culture until you experience it for yourself.

And seeing your home through the eyes of a visitor... priceless.

Welcome to America! ⚽️

We came for the music festival and will definitely return for more bourbon + horses 🎶🥃🐎

A little Kentucky getaway with my husband has me thinking about how some of the best getaways don't start with a destination. They start with the things you already love to do and the people you love sharing them with.

More on that in my monthly newsletter! https://www.foratravel.com/advisor/laura-oswald

Honeymoons carry a different kind of meaning in travel planning. They’re not just a shared travel experience but also the beginning of a shared life.

I love getting to step into that moment and help a couple shape something that feels true to them.

When this sweet couple reached out envisioning a multi-leg South American adventure for their honeymoon, I was delighted to help them bring it to life!

From Buenos Aires → Mendoza → Iguazu Falls → Rio de Janeiro, it was a full two weeks that needed to feel rich in experience and relaxed at the same time.

I focused a lot on the rhythm and how the journey would feel as they moved through it, how each place connected to the next and how to make the transitions feel easy.

The goal is always the same for me: travel that feels seamless, intentional and personal.

This one was really special 💕

I love having something to look forward to.

Now that Memorial Day weekend has passed, summer travel suddenly feels very real!

Lately, I’ve been helping clients plan summer getaways — from road trips to river cruises to a bucket-list safari journey — and also mapping out a few adventures of my own:

A long weekend away with my husband (and attending our first music festival in over a decade!) 🙃
A relaxing rendezvous with my college gals on Lake Michigan 🏖️
Denver and Rocky Mountain National Park with my family 🥾

Big trips, small getaways, or just time to slow down… What are you most looking forward to this summer?

I always think of summer as a beautiful time to head west.

This summer, my family is traveling to Rocky Mountain NP, and last summer I helped my brother and his girlfriend plan their trip to Grand Teton

Even though both trips centered around National Parks, the planning has looked really different.

For a multi-gen trip with little ones, we’re prioritizing easy logistics — direct flights from Nashville to Denver, minimizing drive time, and making Estes Park our home base so the time away together feels relaxed.

For my brother, they were excited about the journey itself.

I mapped out two road trip routes. One option was a simpler Wyoming loop while the other stretched them further south and through scenic parts of Colorado they’d not experienced before.

I love getting to advise clients early in the travel planning process because the right high-level itinerary framework allows everything else to flow more naturally.

Which National Park would you like to visit next?
