Meet Lalka!
Coming from a multicultural background, the spirit of travel is part of Lalka’s DNA. Born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised in Miami, FL, she grew up speaking Spanish with her father, Polish with her mother, and English in school. Lalka’s diverse upbringing has prepared her for a life of travel and exploration. Her first trip abroad was as a 1-year-old visiting Peru, and she treasures that first passport with her baby picture!
Throughout her life, Lalka lived in major cities with easy access to international travel, giving her ample opportunities to explore the world. Each of her journeys to 50+ countries holds a special place in her heart, like her two-week tour of the Greek Isles on a chartered 55’ sailboat, her Australian skydive experience off Mission Beach, and her private Omakase dining experience in Japan. She truly believes that travel is part of a person’s lifelong learning experience and essential to a life well-lived.

CLAIM TO FAME
Prior to becoming a professional luxury travel advisor, Lalka was first a successful event producer in New York City for a decade, working with high-profile clients and Fortune 500 companies, creating experiential marketing programs that connected consumers, influencers, and major media to elite brands. Following her entrepreneurial instinct, Lalka identified an opportunity to combine her business management and planning skills with her love of animals and co-founded SoHo Hound in Tampa, FL. A 24-hour pet concierge business that consistently received local accolades. Lalka’s attention to detail and business acumen helped her earn a spot on the “Top 10 Under 40” by Tampa Magazine.
Since selling SoHo Hound, Lalka has turned her passion for authentic travel adventures and a passion to see the world into her next career. Her ability to manage complexity allows her to design culturally-rich journeys through careful and thoughtful planning, allowing her clients to immerse themselves in a memorable luxury experience. Bring her your wish list, and you’ll find Lalka to be a trusted partner who can provide you with exclusive access and exceptional service.
