Lauren Pero

Founder, Dragonfly Traveler LLC

Travel isn’t just about the places I visit—it’s about the experiences, the culture, and the serenity that comes with it. I love curating the perfect blend of adventure, cultural immersion, and relaxation, ensuring every trip leaves you feeling rejuvenated and inspired. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I’m always on the hunt for authentic dishes, exceptional coffee, and the perfect glass of wine to complement my travels.

Having ventured on countless cruises, road trips across the U.S., and explorations of vibrant towns and stunning landscapes, I’ve found that cruises are my ultimate way to experience the world. There’s something uniquely special about unpacking once and letting the ship whisk me away to new destinations, all while indulging in luxurious comforts along the way.

I’m constantly immersed in the magic of travel, finding joy in every journey, both professionally and personally. With over 15 years of leadership and project management experience, I’ve taken the leap to follow my passion and create a travel business dedicated to helping others craft unforgettable journeys. Whether it’s booking the perfect hotel, finding the ideal cruise, or creating a custom itinerary just for you, I’m here to handle the details—so you can focus on enjoying the magic of travel.

“Lauren was absolutely great in every way. She was courteous, responsible, detailed, listened to my likes and dislikes and really tried to get exactly what I wanted. She kept in touch multiple times before the cruise. I absolutely recommend her services to others.”
