Biography:

I caught the travel bug when I traveled to France as a high school student, and I’ve been discovering the world one country at a time ever since. I love the thrill of visiting somewhere I’ve never been, as well as the comfort of returning to my favorite locations. For me, the planning and research involved in the perfect vacation is just as rewarding as the actual trip. I enjoy the details and know that the small things can make the biggest difference. I’m a people person, and in my work and travel I want to know the story behind the people I meet. Travel is a way to connect to our global community and experience firsthand the diversity of cultures, the wonders of nature, the history of our planet, and pleasures of intriguing food. I would love to help you plan your next discovery.

I’ve never used a travel agent before. Laura was amazing! She made my trip planning so easy & had my entire itinerary over to me immediately. It actually blew my mind with how much stress it took off of my shoulders with planning. My trip was so smooth & I didn’t hit one road block the whole way. I highly recommend Laura — she’s the best!!

We recently enjoyed a wonderful 7-day cruise to Alaska aboard the NCL Encore. The beautiful Alaskan scenery was breathtaking, and we thoroughly enjoyed the ship’s food and entertainment. Laura Murdoch assisted us with all of our travel arrangements and took excellent care of us throughout the process. We truly appreciated her help and would be happy to work with her again!

Dream Vacation Entrant. Recently retired, we have not done a cruise prior but do enjoy traveling. My dream cruise would be through the inside passage (Alaska). My husband loves Mexico so this would be a great way to launch him on cruises.

I always enjoy listening to Larry Gelwix on KUTV news. We've been on a number of cruise trips but have not used Morris Columbus yet. We really want to go Alaska on our next cruise so planning to try Morris Columbus since we saw Larry talking about the Alaska cruise on the news a couple weeks ago.

I have been so impressed with the timeliness and prompt responses when I reach out to Morris Columbus travel. I had a wonderful time on a cruise booked through them to the New England Fall colors, and I loved going to the Fall Expo! I learned so much!

What I really appreciated after utilizing this office was, they did not bug me and harass me post-trip to book again immediately. They let me know they were there if I needed them. So refreshing not to be constantly contacted via phone, e-mail, etc.

Cross the Greek Islands Off Your Bucket List

Pictures of idyllic white-washed buildings over-looking the sea and clear blue water inviting visitors to jump in have fueled my desire to visit the Greek islands for years. Greece is more than ancient civilizations or harbors, more than the Olympics and olive groves. It is a culture as vibrant as
