I love to travel and talk about travel! Since 1993, I’ve helped clients plan big vacations and small getaways on every continent. Having been to more than 30 countries, traveled to all 50 states, and sailed on a wide array of cruises, I’m often asked which place is my favorite to visit. My answer is always the same, “I’ve had amazing experiences everywhere I’ve been, but I’ll never turn down traveling to the beaches of Hawaii.” The most memorable trips I plan are for people who are trying to check things off their travel bucket list. I love to help identify what they’re looking to do and then architect their perfect experience. Whether you’ve always dreamed of a foodie tour in NYC, a long weekend in Charleston, a hideaway in Thailand, or an exploration of the Amazon River, I’m not just a travel agent, I’m a maker of lifetime memories!

Client Review: Anna-Lisa G.
"Laura was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in the beginning and throughout. Laura really helped us with an overlooked detail when the cruise line booked our flight so close to departure time and got us transfers that were removed and then replaced. I already have recommended her to my walking group this morning!"
Client Review: Wayne H.
"Because of Laura's assistance we were able to avoid some very difficult circumstances. We enjoyed the arrangements that Laura made for us. We would gladly recommend others to use her services. She is the best. We were quite timid in traveling around Europe on our own. We discovered that we could do it and did it without much heart burn."
Client Review by Randal S:
"Laura has helped us with multiple cruises and provides excellent service. It has been amazing how quickly Laura responds and always understands what we need and provides accurate solutions. We will not hesitate to work with Laura in the future."
Client Review: Faith N.
"Laura is wonderful to work with! She gave us great recommendation and was so pleasant to work with! Laura is a great communicator and always responds quickly. We have already recommended her to others and we hope to book our next family vacation through her."
WHAT DOES A TRAVEL ADVISOR DO?
In a world of Google Flights and Expedia, it’s easy to assume that the era of the travel agent has ended. While it’s true that booking travel from home has never been easier, the role of a travel advisor has only grown in importance, and wise travelers know that working with one is the best way to get the most out of your trip.
Though often used interchangeably, the terms ‘travel agent’ and ‘travel advisor’ convey different things. Our travel advisors serve our clients in an elevated capacity, helping them design the perfect trip for them. Morris Columbus travel advisors start from the ground up, helping travelers know what they want to do and where they want to go. Based on that groundwork, they remove the complexity of booking flights, accommodations, transportation, and—most importantly—experiences.
Morris Columbus Travel has been cultivating strong relationships with travel providers around the world for more than 60 years, so what does that mean for you? When you book your travel with one of our expert travel advisors, you take full advantage of those partnerships. Working with us means you have access to better rates, special promotions and amenities, and more life-changing experiences. We get you through closed doors and really
take your trip to the next level.
Our travel advisors know the travel industry inside and out, but not just because it’s what they do for a living. Every single one of our advisors has a passion for travel. They have each explored the wide world at length, which means they can provide first-hand testimonials about their favorite destinations, hotels, cruise lines, providers, and activities. Want to know the best snorkeling spots in Tahiti or Thailand’s best beaches? Our Morris Columbus travel advisors have hundreds of years of collective experience, and we’re here to help.
