Hi there! I’m Laura from Toronto, and I recently graduated from Ryerson University with a bachelor of fine arts in photography. I’m taking this year to travel and build a photography portfolio before going home and pursuing a career in my field. I am very flexible when it comes to travelling; I enjoy partying and having an exciting night on the town, but I’m also perfectly happy quietly wandering the streets and enjoying a nice conversation over a good meal and a glass of wine. Whatever your style is I’m happy to do it! When I travel, the main things I’m there for is good food, beautiful art, and learning about history, so if you have an interest in any of those we would get along great! I love to cook and make some pretty good vegetarian meals, if you would like me to cook for you 😁 I’m definitely a neat freak so I guarantee you won’t have to worry about me in that regard haha. I don’t like to take life (or myself) very seriously. I’m a free spirited old soul, always ready for an adventure, and to face anything life throws at me with a smile and lots of laughter. I look forward to meeting many people on my travels!
