ABOUT OUR TEAM
LAUREN TULP CICHOCKI
FOUNDER
Raised on the East Coast, Lauren has called Los Angeles home for over 15 years. She studied Public Relations and Art History at the University of Southern California, before starting her career in marketing and e-commerce with several luxury lifestyle brands, including One Kings Lane and India Hicks.
After working with a travel advisor to plan her own honeymoon, Lauren realized she could turn her lifetime love of travel (and planning!) into a business, and in fall 2017 she launched Arbiter Travel Co. She was recognized as a rising star agent for her first two years, and as a top producer by year three. Her eye for design brings a unique edge to her meticulously planned itineraries, and her clients value the personal touch that goes into every detail.
When she is not dreaming up client trips or scouting new destinations, she is spending time with her husband and their two boys (#babyarbiters).
BROOKE BRACKETT
TRAVEL ADVISOR
Brooke is a Southern California native but has called San Francisco home for over a decade. She graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Prior to joining the Arbiter team, Brooke built her career in events and partnerships for brands and startups such as ThirdLove, Bumble, and General Assembly.
A bucket list travel experience as an Arbiter Travel Co. client cemented in her the desire to help others unlock the same travel euphoria. Her background in planning and logistics combined with a very eager travel bug naturally blend together to deliver unique, memorable experiences for her own clients.
Outside of travel, Brooke is an avid painter, often gaining inspiration from recent trips and surrounding sights. You’ll often find her reading, cooking for loved ones, trying new restaurants, and entertaining family and friends with her husband at their Pacific Heights home.
CAITLIN JOHNSON
TRAVEL ADVISOR
Caitlin has always had a curiosity for exploration and a desire to see the world. Her love of travel was the catalyst for many of the paths she chose in life. After obtaining her B.S. in Nursing, she decided to pursue a career as a Travel Nurse, which gave her the opportunity to embrace frequent international escapes and establish her personal ethos towards travel.
Caitlin further manifested her passion into a career when she became an advisor for Arbiter Travel Co. Her sincere enthusiasm brings a delightful touch to her itineraries, and she hopes to inspire her clients to soak up the gifts of a destination and feel completely immersed in the magic of a place.
When Caitlin isn’t galavanting the globe, she enjoys spending time at home in San Francisco with her family, hosting gatherings with friends, wine tasting, swimming and sailing.
GRACE FOLEY
TRAVEL ADVISOR
Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Grace has lived all over the United States, with stints in D.C., New York City, Seattle, and, currently, Los Angeles. She majored in French at Georgetown University and has been a Francophile ever since she could say, “oui! oui!“.
After years of planning trips for friends and family on the side and going on many life-changing adventures of her own, she realized how much of a gift it would be to create and share these extraordinary experiences with others full-time as an Arbiter Travel Co. advisor — and never looked back. Grace is known for her extensive city guides, meticulous hotel vetting, and meal recommendations that you’ll never forget.
When she’s not planning your next weekend getaway or bucket list adventure, you can find Grace strolling through the farmer’s market, baking, or hiking the Californian coast with her husband and labradoodle.
