LAUREN KRESTA
DALLAS, TX
Howdy! I’m Lauren Kresta—a proud Texan with a deep love for tacos, wine, and unforgettable travel experiences. I didn’t grow up jet-setting across the globe. Instead, my passion for adventure was sparked on weekend road trips, discovering hidden gems and scenic landscapes with my family.
With a degree in wildlife and natural resource studies and an ever-growing curiosity for the world, I’ve spent years exploring far and wide. Along the way, I became the go-to travel expert for friends and family—crafting trips that blend comfort, culture, and just the right amount of thrill.
Now, as a travel advisor for the past 7 years, I’ve mastered the art of pairing exclusive hotel stays with rich cultural immersion and the most fun outdoor adventures. Whether it’s a chic hideaway in the Alps or a private-guided market tour in Mexico City, I bring together the best of luxury and authenticity. I stay on top of what’s new, what’s next, and what’s worth it—so my clients always get the inside scoop and first access. I’m here to help you experience the world in a way that feels effortless, enriching, and tailored just for you.
