My magical mystery tour.

It started with long car rides. Then - age 7 - the first of many international moves. As the adventures grew, Lauren had stories to tell and postcards to fill. By age 15 she’d been to school on 4 continents. By age 17, she’d camped at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and the top of the world: Mount Everest Base Camp.

Keen observation preceded furious writing. Today, Lauren writes for travel industry clients in tones so contagious they hurt.

Travel copywriting is the perfect fit for a lifelong expat who speaks in Ameri-glish, writes in British and swears in Chinese. Who better to distill the tasty joys of perpetual motion and nonstop discovery?

Call it match-making: she writes copy so effectively that readers can’t help themselves. Whether plane ticket booked or hotel room chosen: her copywriting gets people moving. And laughing. It’s compulsive. This is pure honesty and pure heart - rarely found online.

After 4 years of teeth-cutting at marketing agencies and incentive travel firms, she set out as a creative copywriter in her own right. Based in Vancouver, she’s able to work anywhere for a varied set of international clients.

Have Macbook, will travel.
