My Shear Wanderlust: A Journey of Connection and Care

The Joy of Creating Memories

My shear wanderlust, which has been with me since birth, is the reason I love what I do. It fuels my passion for travel and my love for humanity. This profession is not always easy. It can be inconsistent and unpredictable. However, at the end of my 12-15 hour days, I know I’ve given my all. I strive to provide people who become my friends with incredible memories, new traditions, multi-generational connections, and rich cultural experiences.

I step into their shoes, arranging every detail with care. I understand how convenient and meaningful these experiences can be. It’s incredibly rewarding when my new friends return, sharing photos and heartfelt thank-you cards. Each message reminds me of the joy we created together.

Balancing Work and Family Life

As a full-time caregiver for my 94-year-old mother-in-law, working from home is essential. Her needs continue to grow as she ages. My husband has also faced health challenges, which require my presence at home. This incredible business allows me to be the best version of myself. I can care for my family without sacrificing my professional aspirations.

Embracing the Journey

Travel is more than just visiting new places; it’s about embracing the journey. Each trip is an opportunity to explore, learn, and connect. I love curating experiences that resonate with families, especially those planning milestone trips, reunions, or cruises. These moments are precious, and I take great care in ensuring they are unforgettable.

The Power of Connection

In my work, I focus on building relationships. I believe that travel should be a joyful experience, filled with laughter and love. I aim to create a warm atmosphere where families can bond and create lasting memories. It’s not just about the destination; it’s about the connections made along the way.

A Personalized Touch

Every family has a unique story. I take the time to understand their needs and desires. This personalized approach ensures that each trip reflects their values and preferences. I want my clients to feel seen and heard, knowing that their journey is crafted just for them.

Celebrating Milestones

Milestone trips are special. They mark significant moments in life, whether it’s a family reunion, a birthday celebration, or a graduation. I love helping families celebrate these occasions in meaningful ways. From selecting the perfect destination to arranging special activities, I ensure that every detail is taken care of.

Creating New Traditions

Travel can also be a way to create new traditions. Families often return to the same places, building a sense of belonging and continuity. I encourage families to explore new destinations while also revisiting cherished spots. This blend of the familiar and the new enriches their travel experiences.

The Importance of Empathy

Empathy is at the heart of my work. I understand the challenges families face, especially those juggling work, caregiving, or life transitions. I strive to handle the details with care and precision, allowing my clients to focus on what truly matters—each other.

A Trusted Advocate

As a trusted advocate, I am here to support my clients every step of the way. I celebrate their milestones and anticipate their needs. My goal is to make them feel safe, excited, and cared for throughout their travel journey.

Looking Ahead

As I look to the future, I am excited about the possibilities. My goal is to increase high-value bookings for Lori’s Curated Compass by 75% over the next 12 months. I plan to achieve this through targeted outreach to multi-generational families and river cruise enthusiasts. I also aim to enhance client retention with warm, personalized follow-up messaging and curated travel experiences that reflect each traveler’s unique story.

In conclusion, my journey in the travel industry is a blend of passion, care, and connection. I am grateful for the opportunity to help families create unforgettable memories. Together, we can explore the world, one joyful trip at a time.
