Meet Laura Varnau | Designing Elevated Alaska, Hawaii & Disney Vacations for Adults
Hi, I’m Laura Varnau.
Now that the kids are grown and the school schedules are behind you, it’s time to travel on your terms.
Planning a bucket-list Alaska land or cruise vacation, mapping out a Hawaii escape, or navigating a Disney getaway shouldn’t feel like a part‑time job. Yet for many people, it quickly becomes one. Hours of research, endless comparisons, complex itineraries, countless island options, and confusing theme park systems can turn what should be exciting into something overwhelming. Most people don’t have the time—or the desire—to sort through all of that on their own.
What if it didn’t have to be that way?
As a former event planner, I’m used to managing countless moving parts with precision and calm. I bring that same level of thoughtful organization to every trip I design. I think through the details you might not even know to consider—like how a bargain flight could leave you stranded before your cruise sails, which Hawaii island best fits your pace and interests, or which resort location will actually give you that elevated, relaxed Disney experience.
I spend my days immersed in the travel world: studying, attending trainings, connecting with advisor communities, and experiencing destinations firsthand. When you work with me, you’re not just getting someone to make reservations. You’re getting elevated insight, curated recommendations, and the peace of mind that turns a good vacation into a seamless, stress‑free escape.
Life Outside of Travel
When I’m not mapping out Alaska tours, inspecting Hawaii resorts, or tracking down the best Disney strategies, you can usually find me spending time with my husband of 40 years, enjoying a margarita at our favorite Mexican restaurant, attending a Pilates class or outside on my daily walk.
Based in Carmel, Indiana, I bring a mix of Midwestern warmth and sharp event-planning precision to every itinerary I touch.
Why Work With Me?
You deserve an extraordinary vacation where you can fully step away, make unforgettable memories, and focus on the people who matter most.
