Meet Our Team

AGENCY OWNER | TRAVEL ADVISOR
Hi and welcome! We are here to help you create unforgettable experiences with the people you love the most.
Travel has this beautiful way of bringing families closer—especially when multiple generations come together or when you’re celebrating life’s most meaningful moments.
At Compass and Kin, we specialize in creating extraordinary family experiences for multigenerational travel and milestone celebrations, because these are the trips that become part of your family’s story.
I created Compass and Kin because I believe every family deserves travel that works for them. In my own family, we navigate multiple life-threatening food allergies as well as neurodivergence and sensory sensitivities. I understand firsthand how thoughtful and thorough planning can make or break your travel experience.
The experiences we’ve shared while traveling have become some of my most treasured memories, and I’m passionate about helping you create yours.
Whether you're gathering the generations for a special reunion, celebrating a milestone anniversary, or simply want to turn what would be a good vacation into a great vacation, we are here for you.
I’m excited to partner with you. Let’s create something extraordinary together.

Travel Advisor
I have always enjoyed traveling to new places with the people I love, which now includes my husband and 3 kids. Spending much of my childhood in Central Africa and exploring Europe in college sparked a lifelong love for experiencing different cultures and perspectives, a passion I now bring to planning your trips!
I am so excited to be a part of Compass and Kin and have the opportunity to help busy parents take the stress out of planning family vacations.
I want you to be able to focus on being present with your family and making magical memories together, not spending hours on research, comparison, and creating an itinerary. I love booking destinations like Disney, Universal, and cruises. I also personally deal with food allergies and would love to help you travel confidently if this is something you need to consider.

Travel Advisor
Hi! So glad that you have found yourself here. I’m excited to help you create unforgettable memories with the people you love most and who are closest to you.
I live in Columbus, Ohio with my husband, four kids, and two dogs. I love the ocean, sunshine, and love getting to explore new places. I’m passionate about helping families create memories through travel, rest, and connection. I am someone who has never rested well at home, with the ‘to do list’ always growing. I love being able to get away with my family for rest, relaxation, and connection all while creating shared memories with each other. I have traveled internationally, around the United States, and of course love all things Disney and Universal.
I believe that traveling with the people you love the most creates shared memories and connections that withstand the test of time. In my family we have navigated travel through budgets, splurges, allergies, sensory difficulties, and many obstacles that come with neurodivergency. I believe that there are always options for families and enjoy finding options that best fit your family’s unique preferences and needs.
I’m excited with the opportunity to partner with you in creating special memories with the ones you love.
What Families Are Saying
Over the years I have used a number of travel agents and Lauren Miller is absolutely the very best!! In planning a multi country European cruise Lauren provided options for consideration to include various cruise lines, flights, transfers, hotels, excursions based on your interests and any necessary visa/travel requirements for the various countries. Lauren is a true pleasure in planning all your vacation needs. She is caring, extremely knowledgeable, professional and a great communicator providing detailed trip information, confirmations, receipts and includes next steps. I highly recommend Lauren to plan your vacation dreams. - LAP
We have absolutely loved working with Lauren! We would be so lost without her! Lauren has been amazing keeping our vacation planning on track and delivering all the necessary details in a very organized, timely, and non-overwhelming way. She has gone above and beyond guiding us with her advice while keeping our vacationing hopes and goals in mind. Lauren has been such a joy to work with! - Allie
Lauren was absolutely invaluable as our travel advisor, guiding us from start to finish throughout our entire trip. From the very beginning, she provided detailed insights into what we could expect and shared thoughtful recommendations on activities that would enhance our travel experience. Her dedication and expertise truly set the tone for a smooth and enjoyable adventure. One of the standout aspects of Lauren's support was her incredible attention to detail regarding our daughter's severe nut allergy. She ensured that every precaution was taken, making sure all our needs were met to guarantee her safety and comfort. Whether it was assisting with special arrangements or addressing our concerns, Lauren went above and beyond to give us peace of mind. Thanks to Lauren's exceptional preparation and personalized care, we had an unforgettable trip that exceeded our expectations. Her commitment and professionalism made all the difference, and we are truly grateful for the role she played in - Wick Family
