Lauren Rock, Owner, Dynamic Escapes LLC
After 20+ years working as a cultural trainer and relocation counselor, Lauren Rock decided she wanted a change and to focus on her love of travel. Lauren spent a year researching and learning about the professional travel industry, taking classes and earning accreditations, before formally leaving the corporate world behind to launch Dynamic Escapes in 2016.
Her clients have included couples, families, “girlfriend” groups, grandparent/grandchild trips, church groups, school groups, multi-generational family trips, and folks looking for solo time away. They have traveled to places across the US and around the world.
As an independent agent Lauren works for her clients, not the travel industry. Through meticulous research and obsessive planning, she ensures that her clients have a wonderful, memorable trip without having to do the work of arranging it all!
Some of her favorite places to experience are Tanzania, Australia, Costa Rica, Spain, and the National Parks of the western United States and Canada.
Lauren and her husband have two children: one who loves cities, and one who loves nature. Needless to say, she is accustomed to balancing the desires of multiple people into a single trip!
She has two rescue dogs who will happily travel wherever the family can take them!
