Planning a trip should feel exciting… not overwhelming.
But once you start looking, it gets confusing fast. Everything starts to look the same, prices are all over the place, and you’re stuck wondering if you’re even picking the right thing.


That’s where I come in.


I help you figure out what actually makes sense for you, then narrow it down so you can book and feel good about it — no overthinking.


When you work with me, you get:


• One person to go to — no calling hotels, airlines, or waiting on hold
• Help before your trip and while you’re there, in case anything changes
• Someone who steps in and handles problems if something goes wrong
• Options that actually match what you want, not just what looks good online
• Honest advice on what’s worth it and what’s not
• Help with the little details so nothing gets missed
• Support with booking things ahead of time so your trip goes smoothly


No stress. No confusion. No going back and forth for hours.


And the best part — you don’t pay extra to work with me.

Meet Your Travel Agent
I'm Marilu, also known as Lu, and I'm the Travel Agent behind Travel With Lu.

I help busy people, couples, and families plan stress-free vacations without spending hours trying to figure everything out on their own.


I’m a mom of one with two bonus kids, and I’m based in Brockton, MA. I’m an experienced traveler and have visited 25+ countries, which helps me understand what makes a trip smooth, enjoyable, and worth it.


I started Travel With Lu in 2024 because I genuinely love travel and was already helping friends, family, and even acquaintances plan their trips. What started as “can you help me find a resort?” quickly turned into full trip planning and I realized I wanted to turn it into something bigger.


Now, I help my clients take the stress off their plate by handling the research, narrowing down the best options, and making sure everything is set before they go.


My goal is simple: to make your trip feel easy, well-planned, and actually worth your time and money.

What You Get When You Work With Me

Most people don’t struggle with booking travel, they struggle with choosing the right option. That’s where I come in.


When you work with me, you get a simplified, stress-free planning process tailored to your budget, travel style, and travel goals, without having to sort through endless options.


I provide curated recommendations so you can make confident decisions faster and with less overwhelm.


Once your trip is booked, I stay your point of contact for any questions or changes.


It’s a simpler, more guided way to plan travel with less stress and better decisions from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge a planning fee?
At this time, I do not charge a planning fee for most trips. My services are typically complimentary when you book your travel through me.


How do you get paid if your service is free?
I’m paid by the travel suppliers (such as resorts and cruise lines) after you travel. You don’t pay me directly for most standard vacation bookings.


Why should I book with you instead of online?
Online booking shows you options but I help you choose the right ones. I save you time, avoid costly mistakes, and make sure your trip is set up correctly from the start.


Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Most vacations can be booked with flexible payment options, allowing you to make payments over time instead of paying everything upfront. Final payment deadlines vary depending on the supplier.


How far in advance should I book my trip?
Ideally 6–12 months in advance for the best pricing and availability, especially for cruises and all-inclusive resorts. I can also assist with last-minute travel when options are available.


What happens after I request a quote?
Once I receive your request, I review your details, research options, and email you curated travel recommendations based on your trip. From there, you choose what works best for you.


Can you help me choose the right resort or destination?
Yes! That’s one of the biggest parts of what I do. I match you with resorts and destinations based on your budget, travel style, and the experience you’re looking for.


Can you help with flights, transfers, and extras?
Yes. I can assist with flights (especially when packaged), airport transfers, excursions, and other trip add-ons so everything is organized before you travel.


What if something goes wrong during my trip?
If anything comes up while you’re traveling, I’m your point of contact. I help handle changes, issues, or disruptions so you’re not stuck figuring it out alone.
