About Me

Hi, Im Laura—and welcome to First Class Escapes.

After years of dreaming, planning, adventuring, and falling in love with Europe, I created this space to help women over 40 travel beautifully, confidently, and effortlessly.

Whether you’re craving a solo escape, a girls’ getaway, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, I believer Europe is the perfect destination for midlife women who want more—more joy, more culture, more connection, more ease.

Here, you’ll find:

• Inspiring European destinations perfect for women 40+

• Luxury-on-a-budget travel tips

• Itinerary ideas you can actually follow

• Packing lists, safety tips, and planning guides.

• The confidence to book your dream trip—without the stress.

As a mom to 3 amazing boys, my world has always revolved around raising them, loving them, and staying present for every season of their lives. But as they’ve grown, I’ve discovered something I didn’t expect, there is a whole new chapter waiting for women like us—and travel is a part of it.

You’ve spent years taking care of everyone else. This space is here to remind you: You deserve an escape too.

I’m so glad you’re here. Lets plan your next chapter—one beautiful trip at a time.
