Hi! I’m Lauren Shook, Founder & CEO of TripMe
Countries visited: 70+
Favorite destination: South of France
I ventured outside of the country for the first time at 9-years-old and so began my love affair with travel. Fast forward to today, where my unquenchable desire and enthusiasm has led me to explore over sixty countries. My world travels and exposure to diverse cultures and international luxury hotels ultimately led me to pursue a career in the luxury travel industry. I worked on a top team at Ovation Travel Group, where I crafted bespoke trips for a high net-worth clientele. I then accepted a role as Agency Manager & Lead Advisor for a tech-driven and millennial-focused start-up travel agency, where I oversaw the entire advisor team.
In 2021, I served as a Rising Star for Travel + Leisure and was recognized at ILTM in Cannes. In 2022, I served as a Top Ten Hyatt Privé Advisor, member of the Celestial Club by Marriott International, selected member of Querido Rockstars, and was selected as one of Travel Agent Central’s 30Under30 Travel Advisors.
As a millennial with vast travel knowledge and experience, I am in pursuit of a limitless career. My professionalism and sophisticated approach has made me a trusted advisor and peer amongst many in the industry. I hope to leverage my all-consuming passion to cultivate genuine connections and engage the next generation of travelers for years to come.
