Laura combines her 20 year career in business and keen eye for detail with her passion for travel. She’s explored such far-off destinations as Bosnia, Honduras, Argentina, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Turkey and the Maldives. She’s traveled solo in Europe, practiced yoga in Bali, felt her heart race on the back of a Vespa in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, rolled wheels of parmesan cheese in Italy and island hopped in Croatia. She fell in love with Spain’s white washed villages and dove through history, scuba diving amongst WWII shipwrecks in Egypt’s Red Sea. Thoughts of never returning crossed her mind while on safari in Kenya, cherishing a glass of wine, watching a sundowner sunset.

Laura provides clients with experiences that separate bespoke travel from the generic hotels and tours you find online. Whether it’s an African safari or a getaway close to home, if you can dream it, Laura can plan it.

She grew up spending time with family at Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans, in the Golden Isles of Georgia and the mountains of Wyoming.

Lindsay’s modeling career took her all over the world, living in her first apartment in Paris as an 18 year old, while traveling on shoots throughout Australia, Mexico, the Caribbean, Korea, Japan, Germany, France, Spain and Italy. She later moved back to California and enrolled in UC San Diego where she majored in Biochemistry.

Whether exploring her way through Florence or Argentina, or Portugal, deep sea fishing in Costa Rica, Flamenco dancing in Seville, or fly fishing the rivers of Wyoming – Lissette is all about finding the best every destination has to offer while delivering The World, Well Done to her clients.

Lissette lives in Houston with her husband and two active children, who she hopes to one day become world travelers themselves.

Jennifer is a consummate foodie and thrives on the excitement and anticipation of her next destination. She grew up in Southern California and built a career in finance before moving to Hong Kong as an expat for her husbands’ job.

She’s traveled extensively in Asia, Europe and the U.S. After immigrating to California from China as a child, she has always enjoyed the sense of discovery, exploring different foods, activities and culture that travel brings. After meeting her equally adventurous husband, they traveled the world together with their two children, giving her valuable experience in creating trips for the entire family, while still finding those special moments for parents.

Jennifer and her husband, Scott, live in Los Angeles with their teenage daughters, Kaitlyn (18) and Sienna (14) and their dog, Daisy. Like many of us, their kids keep them busy with sports and activities, and they are actively involved in local philanthropies.

Camille brings a sharp business mind and a passion for great adventures to Well Traveled Texan. Her travels have taken her to France, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt, Utah, Colorado, the Cayman Islands and Punta Mita, Mexico. She’s an expert on south Florida and the Keys and all things sports. She loves fighting the crowds at bucket list events like The Masters, The Ryder Cup, The US Open, The Final Four, and The Indy 500.

Camille honed her business skills at Vanderbilt University where she fell in love with the south and earned an MBA in Business Strategy from the Kellogg School of Business.

Camille spends her free time on the golf course and loves traveling with her husband, Bret, family and friends. When she’s not planning incredible trips, she can be seen around Houston cheering her three teenagers onto success in their many sports activities.

Darlene is as obsessed with travel as we all are! Her successful 30 year career in the software industry has made her an expert at client service and the “details, details” essential to planning the perfect trip. Darlene has explored Africa, France, Spain, and Central America, hiked her way through Utah and Colorado, and kicked up her heels on the beaches of Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean and Florida. She loves planning bucket list vacations, long weekends, girls or guys trips and is just as comfortable glammed up at the American Music Awards as she is in the stands at the Euro Cup, two of her favorite adventures with family and friends.

Darlene grew up in Chicago and came to Texas as quickly as she could, moving to Houston as a teen and graduating from Sam Houston State University. She lives in Houston with her husband, Ron, two dynamic daughters, Julia and Olivia, a misfit bulldog named Louie, and has never met a stranger.

While thinking of the next great adventure, she can be found on the sidelines cheering on her girls in volleyball, soccer and basketball, and trying to convince Ron it’s time for another trip (even though they just got back from one). We love that Well Traveled Texan spirit!

We’re so excited to have Louiza on our Well Traveled Texan Team!

Our two junior advisors do everything from educating our travelers on the hottest places to eat, drink and play, to coordinating client itineraries, managing social media, writing copy, and their favorite part of the job, adventure tour testers.

Former hosts of the TV show “Kid’s Eye View: Real World, Real Fun”, they’ve grown up traveling the world while taking viewers along for the ride – across Europe, Central America, Canada the Caribbean, and the US.

Delaney is fresh off a 4 month stint living in Paris where she tasted her way around the city – just to make sure we’re sending clients to the best hotels and restaurants (it’s a tough job!). She now calls Los Angeles home as a student at USC’s prestigious Annenberg School of Journalism. Nicki works out of our Houston office as our resident tour tester and advises on our family itineraries to make sure kids have a blast on every trip we plan.

In the past few years alone they’ve amassed over 150 great experiences that become part of our family itineraries. On their “best of” list – Truffle Hunting in Provence, falconry in Malta, Pinxtos tours in San Sebastian, hiking Peru’s Machu Picchu, zip lining the jungles of Panama, dogsledding in Quebec, island hopping in Sicily, Sardinia and Greece, paragliding Interlaken, skiing Zermatt, Switzerland (and accidentally ending up in Italy) and driving dune buggies through the slot canyons of Moab, Utah. If there’s a country lane, sandy beach mountain pass or city street, these ladies are ready to explore it!

Layne is the one lucky man to work with all of these women rock star advisors! He’s the calm presence in a sea of constant travel craziness, skills he no doubt perfected as an offensive lineman for Texas A & M University (Gig’em Aggies!), and a 32 Year Careers as an executive with Shell Oil.

Layne is our master of accounting and advises from the husband/Dad point of view on our client itineraries. He’s an avid outdoorsman (look for some great guy trips coming up!), is a major foodie, and loves exploring the world with his amazingly fabulous wife, Jeanne and their two incredible daughters, Delaney and Nicki.
