The Travel Agenda
Newtown, Victoria, 3220
Hi, I’m Lauren and I’ve been in the travel industry since 2004. My background is in VIP corporate travel and since making the change to leisure travel in 2013, I haven’t looked back. Most recently I started my own business with my long time friend and colleague Kirsty Williams and we are now the co-Owners/Directors of The Travel Agenda.
Two of my passions are travel and history and whilst living in London for 2.5 years I travelled throughout Europe – extensively in the UK, France, Spain, Germany, Scandinavia & Italy. I have also travelled around America, Japan, China, Bali, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand as well as as cruising the Mediterranean, Greek Islands, South East Asia and the South Pacific.
I escorted a tour from Geelong to South Africa and Zimbabwe in June 2017 and in November 2017 I participated in a 7 Day Globus Tour of Budapest, Vienna & Prague visiting the Christmas Markets of the past Imperial Capitals. In September 2018 I spent some time in Southern California visiting San Diego, West Hollywood and Anaheim. In 2019 I cruised aboard the Genting Dream from Singapore to Malaysia and Thailand.
I have done multiple South Pacific Cruises with P&O & Carnival as well as a few Australia Cruises with Princess & Royal Caribbean. In addition to all the overseas travel I have done, I have also experienced much of what our own beautiful country has to offer. I love creating fabulous itineraries and making my client’s travel experience the best it can be.

She has knowledge of everywhere we wanted to go.. the best seats on the plane to our best hotels . Unfortunately Covid stopped our European dream .. but our flights, car hire, and plans were refunded thanks to Lauren. Our dreams are still intact.. and we will rebook .. we will.. retrace our itinerary and not let Covid derail our travel plans.Heads up to Lauren & Alisha Kelly and their team to secure our refund .

Lauren booked our trip for 2 adults and 3 kids to attend a friend's wedding in Fiji. I left everything in Lauren's hands to find flights, accommodation & transfers within our budget and walking distance to the wedding and she did it on the spot. Saved me the headache and we had the best time!! Highly recommended! Will be booking with Lauren again.

Lauren has organised and booked several holidays for us, including a personally guide tour. Lauren is knowledgeable and seeks to find the best deals or the best way to achieve our travel goal. It makes everything easy to manage and any issues that may arise are dealt with with compassion and efficiency. Highly recommended professional travel agent.
