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.

Lauren's articles appear regularly on the travel pages of newspapers in Vancouver Canada, Texas, Israel and Cape Town, South Africa.

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!

As a contributing writer at Travelwriters Tales (www.travelwriterstales.com) and TravelingTales.com, look out for her work in a variety of BC's community weekly newspapers, including The Surrey Now, The Coquitlam Now, Vancouver 24 Hours, Kamloops This Week, The Chilliwack Times, The Richmond News, the Langley Advance and the Delta Optimist.

Much of her work can be easily accessed on a quick google search, for she is extensively published in The Vancouver Sun, The Georgia Strait, The Austin-American Statesman, The San Antonio Express-News, The Bellingham Herald, Real Weddings Magazine and many others.
