Laura Arauzo, Founder and Director of LYS Collective.
After traveling across the world, living in multiple countries, and exploring countless cities and luxury hotels, I’m ready to turn my passion and knowledge into something extraordinary: a travel and celebrations experience designed just for you; like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
Living abroad and immersing myself in different cultures has given me a rare advantage: the ability to see a destination through a local lens.
From the most prestigious hotels to hidden locations that require a secret code for entry, I love discovering the experiences that truly define a place; and then sharing them with you.
For over a decade, I’ve built my career in luxury hospitality, working with some of the world’s most prestigious hotels. I’ve had the privilege of serving high-net-worth travelers, celebrities, international planners, and luxury agencies, learning what makes a trip not just good, but unforgettable.
But my experience goes beyond travel. With a background in psychology and coaching, I understand how people connect to places, experiences, and emotions. This allows me to design journeys that reflect not only where you want to go, but who you are — thoughtfully aligned with your lifestyle, values, and rhythm.
Driven by a passion for detail, service, and authenticity, I believe travel should feel effortless, meaningful, and deeply personal.
When I’m not designing journeys and celebrations, you’ll most likely find me traveling for inspiration, immersed in a good book, discovering new culinary experiences and fine wines, playing sports or hiking in nature; where I slow down, reconnect, and gather the inspiration that later shapes every experience I create.
