Lauren's just back from Holland and South Africa, where she reported on memories of World War II in The Hague, and on the Heart of Cape Town Museum on the southermost tip of Africa. In a short while she's off to Florida, Guatemala, Mexico and Honduras.
The great thing about being a travel writer? The open road is always calling, and with it come adventures, unbelievable experiences, fascinating people and an exploration of some of the world's little secrets. Lauren's just back from Alberta' Badlands and will head to Europe and Africa in December before travelling to the Caribbean in March. Look out for her dispatches from these trips.
An
award-winning travelwriter, Lauren’s chief passion is travel and
writing about her experiences on the road. In February 2007 she was
honoured to receive an award for the best article on a Canadian
destination at the Travel Media Association of Canada, for her story on
the grizzly bears in Northern BC.
A writer who loves to venture off the beaten track, she has reported
from far flung corners of the earth, including Nunavut, The Cook
Islands, Panama, Israel, Botswana and many other destinations.
As honeymoon editor at Real Weddings Magazine, Lauren selects and
visits appropriate honeymoon destinations in British Columbia,
Washington State and beyond, describing their rooms, services and
amenities in rich detail in her articles. This gives her the
opportunity to take frequent honeymoons - never a bad thing in a
marriage!
Much of her work can be easily accessed on a quick google search, for she is extensively published in The Saturday Star, The Vancouver Sun, The Georgia Strait, The Houston Chronicle, The San Antonio Express-News, The Bellingham Herald, Journeys West Magazine, Destinations Magazine and many others.
Lauren specializes in Jewish-focused travel, so look out for her work in The Western Massachusetts Jewish Ledger, the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent, Vancouver's Jewish Independent, Portland's Jewish Review, The Jewish Journal of the North Shore and The Canadian Jewish News.
