Welcome to Laurie’s Global Travel

Where extraordinary travel experiences are designed for those who demand the best. From indulgent cruises to fully led exploration adventures to five-star sanctuaries, we make your dream escape seamless.

“Don’t wait for retirement to start living your bucket list. Climb the mountain while your knees still work!”

“When you're old, you won't wish you spent more time at the office. You’ll wish you traveled more.”

Before curating travel experiences for others, I lived abroad for two years, exploring the hidden corners of Europe, the Caribbean and beyond—not as a tourist, but as a traveler with a pen in hand and curiosity in heart. That deep, immersive knowledge now shapes what I offer.

My clientele prefers what is known in the industry as “luxury travel.” The name though can be misleading as the specifics of what you require to make your trip feel luxurious may be quite different from what someone else requires. The trick is in asking the right questions and in knowing the options that exist.

ABOUT ME

I'm Laurie Senz, a seasoned travel expert with a career that has taken me around most of the globe—and into the pages of some of the world’s top publications. I've authored travel guidebooks and contributed hundreds of articles to major magazines and newspapers including Fodor’s, Birnbaum’s and Access travel guidebooks; Newsday, Miami Herald, Sunshine (Sun-Sentinel’s award-winning Sunday magazine); Bride’s, The Saturday Evening Post, Millionaire, Gold Coast and more.

“Luxury isn’t a price point. It’s a way of seeing the world.”

“What one traveler considers luxurious may be unimportant to someone else.”

Travel is broadening, enlightening, and educational. It can also be, at times, frustrating, exhausting and filled with mishaps. As a travel writer, I found that one person’s heaven was another person’s nightmare. Not everyone loves long strips of pristine sand fronting turquoise seas. All-inclusive means different things literally everywhere. The goal when traveling is to get an experience that appeals to your sense of adventure, is on your bucket list, and meets your physical capabilities.

“Traveling—it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”

SERVICES

Being a travel agent, to me, means helping others experience the world in meaningful, memorable ways. If your travel expert is not asking you the right questions, then why consider spending your money on their recommendations? A good travel agent:

  • Asks you questions to determine what you really want, expect and enjoy.
  • Is experienced in the type of travel you want.
  • Has preferably experienced it firsthand.
  • Has a large network of savvy travelers from which to pull secondhand information.
  • Explains why you should buy travel insurance in the event something goes awry.
The Internet, Google and ChatGPT provide an overwhelming amount of information, yet they don't often help you ask the right questions or provide much substance for your travel plans. Reviews can’t be trusted as most are just the biased expectations of an individual or are written by paid affiliates.

“Luxury travel isn’t about what you see—it’s how you see it.”

SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE

With a background as a professional travel writer, I bring unmatched depth and perspective to every itinerary. My current areas of expertise are the Caribbean, Europe, Central America, all-inclusive resorts and all types of cruises, from small ships to river cruises to expedition ships to large floating cruise ship resorts. Asia is being explored so stay tuned. Besides traveling extensively, my associates and I have a large network of clients, friends and family to get both the pros and cons of each aspect of their trips.

When I add the answers you give regarding your expectations, desires, and physical capabilities to your travel goals, interests, and travel style, I can then properly match you to the right all-inclusive resort, best cruise line and specific ship to take, or land tours and hotels to consider.
