Meet Your Hosts!

We are Lauren & Tiina, two best friends who share a strong passion for all things books and travel. We spend our days sending Booktoks to each other, leaving detailed Book Report voice notes, and recommending our latest reads. We have traveled around the world together, and wanted to combine our two passions into something we can share with you!

Our goal with Boutique Book Retreats is to create a fun, thoughtful, and adventurous community of women from around the world. We would love for you to join us!

  • Lauren is a 34-year-old content manager for a luxury travel company which allows her to travel the world for about half the year. Her favorite places to read are planes, trains, and underneath cozy hotel room duvets. Although she loves shopping in a charming bookstore, she is a Kindle girlie through and through! Romance and fantasy are her top genres, and she has yet to find an enemies to lovers trope that didn’t tickle her fancy. With her extensive travel planning knowledge, you are in great hands when it comes to your next Boutique Book Retreat.


  • Tiina is a 34-year-old graphic designer soaking up the sun in Los Angeles. When she’s not busy creating magic for global brands, you can almost always find her reading her latest book at home, on the beach, or even on the treadmill at the gym! While she is a romance girlie at heart, she’s been known to dabble in fantasy, dystopian, and science fiction. With Tiina at the helm of Boutique Book Retreats, you’ll be able to immerse yourself into the most beautiful world of creativity, wanderlust, and literature.
