The Heart Behind Telamon Travel
I’m Laura Adams, founder of Telamon Travel. I design travel around how my clients actually want to experience a place, not just where they want to go. With over fifteen years in the industry, I work closely with each traveler to create itineraries that feel personal, well paced, and easy to move through.
Telamon Travel was built on a simple idea. Thoughtful planning leads to better travel. We start with you. How you like to travel, what matters most, and what you don’t want to spend time figuring out. From there, I manage the details, shape the overall flow of the trip, and ensure everything comes together in a way that feels seamless from start to finish.
This work is built on trust and ongoing partnership. You’re not selecting from pre built trips. You’re working with someone who is actively shaping each decision with you, so the final experience reflects exactly what you need it to be.

Elevated Touches & Support

Welcome Home & What’s Next

Where the Compass Points
Favorite Destination
Galway, Ireland
Stepping into the cool spring air outside the train station, I felt instantly at home. Galway’s charm, warmth, and colorful energy swept me away. While I love every inch of Ireland, Galway completely stole my heart.
Bucket List
My travel bucket list was never meant to follow a theme, but somehow the letter M has taken over. It wasn’t planned, but it stuck, and now it’s become a running thread across the destinations I’m most drawn to.
Beyond the Itinerary
I live in Southern California, where I’m fortunate to be close to the coast, the mountains, and the desert. Most days, though, I’m happiest at home. Evenings with my dogs, time with friends at local wineries, and the occasional live concert are usually where you’ll find me.
I grew up in Minnesota, where hockey is simply part of the culture. It’s still my favorite sport. Outside of travel planning, I enjoy designing websites, building digital systems, and finding simple ways to bring more beauty and function into everyday life.
My dogs are always close by while I work. They’re a constant reminder to pause, step away when needed, and stay present throughout the day.
