Thoughtful Travel Planning for Life’s Most Meaningful Moments

Hi, I’m Lori—founder of Saltwater Travel Company, romance travel specialist, and your partner in planning unforgettable journeys designed around connection, celebration, and ease.

For the past four years, I’ve worked as a professional travel advisor helping couples and families plan honeymoons, destination weddings, group travel, and bucket‑list experiences—especially European Christmas markets. Before that, I spent 15 years running my own wedding planning business, where I learned firsthand how much care, precision, and trust go into planning once‑in‑a‑lifetime moments.

That combination is at the heart of how I serve my clients today.
