Join My Rome Group Trip!
April 21-27, 2027


Italy is one of my favorite places, and I’m heading back to Rome in April 2027! This time, I’m inviting you to come along.


We’ll spend April 22-27 in Rome, with nonstop flights from Boston departing April 21, a 4-star hotel near the Colosseum, and a welcome aperitivo to kick off the trip. 


If Rome has been on your list, this is your chance to experience it with me. Come solo, bring a friend, and let’s make some memories in Italy!

Why Work With Lu?
I’ve Been There, And I’m Here to Help You Get There.


My goal is to make planning feel personal, simple, and actually helpful.


I’m not just booking trips. I’m helping you figure out where to go, where to stay, what’s worth your time, and what makes sense for your travel plans.


I’ve visited 26+ countries, and I use my own travel experiences, research, and industry knowledge to help you sort through the options and make decisions you feel good about.


Personalized Recommendations
Not every resort, cruise, or destination is right for everyone. I take the time to understand what you're looking for so I can help you find options that fit your travel style and investment.


Real Experience, Honest Advice
I've traveled to destinations I recommend, including Italy, one of my personal favorites. I'll share what I know, give you my honest perspective, and help you understand your options before you book.


Less Googling, More Planning
You don't need another list of 400 resorts to sort through. I'll help narrow down the options, compare the details, and take some of the guesswork out of planning your trip.


Someone to Help You Along the Way
From choosing your trip to getting everything booked, and support during your trip - I'm here to help you navigate the process and know what to expect along the way.

What happens after I request a quote?
Once you submit your travel inquiry, we’ll schedule a complimentary consultation call to discuss your trip, preferences, and travel needs. After our call, I’ll confirm your planning fee and send you a payment link. Once payment is received, I’ll begin researching options tailored to your trip. For most vacations, you can expect to receive your personalized quotes within 2-3 business days. More complex itineraries may require additional time, which I’ll communicate with you upfront.


Why should I book with you instead of online?

Booking a vacation is about more than finding a good deal. You want to know you’re choosing the right resort, getting the best fit for your needs, and not overlooking important details. That’s where I come in! As your Travel Agent, I use my firsthand travel experiences, industry knowledge, and personalized research to help you find the right options for your trip. I take the guesswork out of planning, help you feel confident in your decisions, and make sure you have someone in your corner before, during, and after your trip.


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.


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.
