I'm Lara Ashbaugh - My core value in life is Work hard/play hard.  As my client I will work hard to find, organize and book the trip you've been imagining.  And I play hard meaning I still travel myself - I walk the walk and have been to many of the destinations I send my clients to.  

I have the professional experience and the personal experience to take your vacation to the next level.

I've been an avid traveler since my first trip with my family at 5 years old.

My favorite memories from my childhood are of our family vacations.  Some were small weekend trips and others were multi-week affairs - plus everything in between.

That's why I'm a family travel specialist.  I believe the in the value of experiences and connections made on a vacation together.  Whether it's a small family trip or a multi-generational family reunion - I'm there to help with the planning and organization.

I'm a mom to a 3 year old - who took his first plane trip at 9months old.  I understand the unique challenges that traveling with a child brings.  I'm had moments where I questioned my decision to take the trip altogether and I've had moments where his smile and excitement make all the challenges fade away - and remind me WHY I did this in the first place.

My husband and I have been married for over 15+ years - we had many years of travel with just the two of us.  So, in addition to a family specialist I'm also a romance specialist.  I know the value of time spent with your significant other.  Relationships take work to grow and maintain - you learn a lot about someone when you travel together!

I'm passionate about travel, I'm organized, and I'm knowledgeable.  I'd love to help you with your travel dreams!
