Hi, I’m Laura Howell

After 30+ years in the corporate world, I’ve turned my life-long obsession with travel into a boutique agency making the most fantastical vacation dreams come true.

My Story

My mother is from Belgium—which meant I was crossing the Atlantic on a plane before I was even six months old! We explored a lot of Europe together, and I could never get enough. While my friends were buying Cosmo and Vogue, I was stocking up on travel magazines, flipping through the pages and imagining where I would fly to next.

My “bucket list” grew and grew—and so did my chances to check it off. I spent three months traveling through South and Central America, coming home almost fluent in Spanish. A six-week cruise sailed me from Hong Kong to Sydney, with stops in Malaysia, Indonesia, and more along the way. From Africa to Australia, Cambodia to the Caribbean, all the places I’ve long fantasized about became a reality for me.

Where Fantasy Meets Reality

There’s something so magical about reading about a place, dreaming about discovering all its treasures—and then waking up there in person. Travel gives you “pinch me” moments, where reality and fantasy finally collide.

That’s what I hope to bring YOU through Luxe Travel. The research still captivates me today, so you can trust that I’ll dig as deep as possible to uncover all the most amazing opportunities your destination holds. Then, I’ll use my industry relationships to bring those possibilities to life for you—so your travel dreams become reality, effortlessly. No matter how big and bold they may be.
