LAURA SANGSTER
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA
Over the years, I’ve built a team of skilled travel specialists dedicated to curating personalized, enriching journeys. I’m incredibly proud of our company culture and the way we are always stepping up to help each other provide the best insight and high-touch customer service to our clients.
Beyond leading our amazing team in crafting unforgettable itineraries, I’m a passionate advocate for responsible tourism, emphasizing authentic experiences and sustainability. When I’m not at my desk, you’ll find me hiking, practicing yoga (a love I picked up while living in Sedona), reading and writing, cooking, enjoying wine tastings, and making lasting memories with friends and family.
I believe that your “travel tribe” says a lot about who you are. My most memorable trips are with travel companions who are equally at home spending afternoons at a rustic beach bar on some exotic island as they are enjoying afternoon tea at one of Europe’s most luxurious hotels.

MY TRAVEL STORIES
ESTANCIA CRISTINA
Tucked deep in Patagonia and only accessible by boat, Estancia Cristina completely took my breath away—from the moment we sailed past glittering icebergs to arriving at the lodge, hidden in one of the most remote corners of the world.
SEXTANTIO ALBERGO DIFFUSO
At first, the rough stone walls and humble surroundings made me wonder what I had gotten myself into. But then, little by little, the magic unfolded. This place has all the comforts you’d ever want, layered with something far rarer: an authentic glimpse into Italian history.
