Travel is full of moving parts - and even the best-laid plans can unravel.  Flights get canceled.  Weather shifts. Luggage goes missing.  And when you are the one managing it all, the stress can overwhelm you. 

But when you work with a Travel Advisor, you are never alone.  

As your advocate, I am here to protect your experience.  I monitor your journey in real time, troubleshoot issues before they escalate, and step in when things go wrong - so you don't have to navigate those disruptions on your own.  

Whether it's rebooking a missed connection, securing a last-minute hotel, or resolving a service issue, I act swiftly and discreetly to restore your peace of mind.  You get to stay present in your journey, while I handle the behind-the-scene work.  

Imagine arriving at your hotel in Europe after a long travel day - only to find that it looks nothing like the photos.  The room is poorly maintained, the cleanliness is questionable, and the promised amenities are nowhere to be found.  You are exhausted, disappointed, and now forced to scramble for a new place to stay.  

That's exactly what happened to a friend of mine.  They spent hours trying to find alternate accommodations and are still fighting for a refund from the original property.  

Now imagine having a Travel Advisor in that moment.

Instead of navigating the chaos alone, you'd message me - and I'd already be working on a solution.  I'd secure a new hotel, handle the communication, and advocate for your refund.  You'd be protected, supported, and back to enjoying your journey.  

Because advocacy isn't just about fixing problems. 

It's about making sure you never feel alone when they arise.  

Let's make sure your next journey feels cared for - no matter what comes your way.  

Advocacy isn't an add-on.  It's built into everything I do.

Search engines can show you what’s available. But they can’t show you what’s possible.

Because the most extraordinary travel experiences—the ones that feel effortless, exclusive, and unforgettable—aren’t listed on public booking sites.

They’re unlocked through relationships, not algorithms.

As your travel advisors, we offer access to a world beyond the brochure. From room upgrades and early check-ins to private guides, behind-the-scenes tours, and invitation-only events, we leverage trusted partnerships to open doors that aren’t visible online.

Whether it’s a last-minute table at a Michelin-starred restaurant, a private yacht charter, or a curated cultural experience, we know who to call—and how to make it happen.

Instead of settling for “best available,” our clients enjoy perks like complimentary breakfast, spa credits, and preferred room placement—thanks to our affiliation with luxury travel networks. And when they want something truly special, like a private after-hours museum tour or a bespoke wine tasting in Tuscany, we make the introductions that turn wishes into reality.

Let’s go beyond what’s listed.

Your journey deserves access that reflects your lifestyle—and your imagination.

Even the most exciting trip can come with stress.  Missed connections, overbooked hotels, last-minute changes, or simply the pressure of getting it all "just right" can build up.  And when you're the one managing every detail, the joy of travel can quickly turn into a logistical burden.  

But it doesn't have to be that way. 

As your travel advisors, we anticipate the friction points before they arise.  We confirm every detail, build in buffers, and stay connected behind the scenes.  If something unexpected happens, you're not alone - you have an advocate ready to step in, solve the issue, and keep your journey on track.  

Whether it's a delayed flight, a room that doesn't match your expectations, or a last-minute change in plans, we are here to protect your experience and restore your peace of mind.  

Travelers across the U.S. have faced unprecedented disruptions.  They have experienced reduced air traffic and flight cancellations.  TSA agents and air traffic controllers were working without pay, leading to staff shortages, ground stops, and delays that rippled across the country.  

For your average traveler, this meant longer lines, unexpected cancellations, and hours spent on hold with airlines to protect their travel plans.  But for our clients? 

It means we are already monitoring the situation, adjusting itineraries, and advocating on our client's behalf - before they even feel the impact.  

Instead of scrambling to rebook or wondering if their flight would take off, they've received proactive updates, alternate options, and calm, confident support.  

Because peace of mind isn't a luxury - it's part of the plan.

Let's make travel feel like it should: joyful, effortless, and beautifully supported.  

You deserve to feel cared for - every step of the way.

Planning a trip can be exciting—but for busy professionals, parents, and high-achieving individuals, it’s also a time-consuming maze. Between comparing flights, scanning hotel reviews, and coordinating logistics, what should feel joyful often becomes another task on an already full plate.

Your time is worth more than the sales and deals.

You need someone who can deliver clarity, not complexity.

As your travel advisors, the L & C Travel Agency team streamlines the entire planning process. We handle the research, the vetting, the bookings, and the follow-up—so you don’t have to. You’ll receive a curated plan that reflects your vision, without the hours of toggling tabs or second-guessing decisions.

Whether it’s a last-minute escape or a milestone celebration, we make sure your time is spent enjoying the journey and not managing the logistics.

Instead of spending multiple evenings comparing resort packages, you’ll receive a shortlist of handpicked options—each matched to your preferences, priorities, and pace. 

No overwhelm. No wasted time. Just a clear path forward.

Let’s make travel planning feel effortless again.

Your time is precious. Let’s treat it that way.

In a world overflowing with booking engines, influencer lists, and “best of” blogs, it’s easy to wonder:

Why work with a travel advisor at all?

Here’s the truth: today’s travel landscape is more complex than ever. According to ASTA (American Society of Travel Advisors), 68% of travelers say planning has become more complicated post-pandemic—and over half now prefer to work with a professional to navigate it all.

Because when your time is limited, your standards are high, and your travel moments matter deeply…

You don’t just want a trip. You want it done right.

That’s where we come in.

We don’t just book flights and hotels. We translate your vision into a seamless, story-rich experience—one that reflects your pace, your preferences, and your priorities. Whether you’re planning a milestone celebration, a multi-generational escape, or a solo sabbatical, We are here to ensure every detail feels effortless and elevated.

Itinerary Planning: Where Personalization Meets Precision

Once we’ve begun our partnership, the real magic begins.

As your travel consultants, we don’t just book logistics—we build a relationship that allows us to tailor every element of your journey to you. From flights and accommodations to dining and daily experiences, we design itineraries that reflect your preferences, your pace, and your priorities.

We learn what matters most—whether it’s your preferred seat on the plane, your favorite time of day to explore, or the kind of view that makes you feel most at home. We ensure your itinerary is not only seamless, but emotionally attuned—so every moment feels considered, not cookie-cutter.

Because when you book independently, even with the best deals, personalization is rarely part of the equation. Algorithms don’t ask if you’re a sunrise or sunset person. They don’t know when you need quiet, or when you crave adventure.

This is where our relationship becomes invaluable. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about crafting a journey that feels like it was made for you. Thoughtfully. Beautifully. And with your time, comfort, and joy at the center.
