HI THERE!
I´M LORI AND I´M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE
Custom Travel & Group Experiences Worth Talking About
Hi, I’m Lori, founder of Saltwater Travel Company, a boutique travel agency based in Lincoln, California. I help busy professionals, couples, and groups turn their travel ideas into thoughtfully planned vacations—with the details handled and room to enjoy the experience.
For the past five years, I’ve planned custom European itineraries, ocean and river cruises, all-inclusive getaways, and hosted group adventures. My specialties include European Christmas markets and bringing people together through shared interests, local culture, great food, and memorable experiences.
Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent 15 years running my own wedding planning business. That experience taught me how to coordinate complicated logistics, listen closely, and make each celebration feel personal—skills I bring to every trip I plan.
Whether you’re exploring Europe as a couple, celebrating with friends, or joining one of my hosted groups, I’ll help create a trip that fits your priorities and gives you stories worth telling.
