I'll be the one suggesting…”Let's go somewhere!"

Far or near, I've always been ready to explore new places, meet new people, try new food and learn. 

I began my career began as a leisure travel consultant at one of the largest travel agencies in New England. From there, I went to work for American Airlines in a variety of roles. I managed products & supplier partnerships at Travelocity in the UK and I worked a long time at two of the travel industry’s leading technology providers.  

It was at American Airlines where I met the love of my life, who (fortunately) shares my passion to ‘go somewhere’.  For more than 30 years, we've been doing just that together!  

While there’s no place like home in the United States, I lived abroad for more than 20 years calling Hong Kong, Dubai, Toronto and London home.  In 2010, we had the opportunity to take a year off from work to travel.  It was a dream come true!  We began our adventure in Palm Springs and Tokyo staying with friends in both places. From there, we spent almost 4 months in New Zealand sightseeing and working in vineyards before going on to Australia for another 2 months doing much the same. In coming back to the USA, we explored the San Francisco area and parts of the Sierras, took a cruise and caught up with family before returning to the real world and work.  

Between my business and leisure travel, I've been lucky enough to travel to nearly 60 countries from Australia to Zambia. The friends I've made and the memories are priceless!

For me, finding the best view is always a priority....so I'm always searching for Higher Ground.   Not necessarily for the photo but for the moment and the memory. Sometimes that best view or my 'Higher Ground' is the just small rise of a sand dune on the beach or sometimes it's the top of a mountain taking in the beauty of rocky cliffs and green valleys. 

Whatever Higher Ground you dream of, Laura will be happy to help you find it!
