Hi, I'm Laura! I like to think of myself as a nomad! I've always loved traveling and have been so privileged to do so. In November 2017 I left my comfortable, cozy little house in Minneapolis and have been exploring ever since. I spent three months in Budapest, two in Bali, the last 7 months in Chicago. I've learned so much in the past year and I'm so, so grateful. In December, my pup and I are moving to Oahu (!!!!) and we can't wait to open up our home to fellow surfers.

I love travel (obviously!!), adventures, hiking, dogs, all animals, road trips, yoga, long walks, trying new restaurants, drinking, connecting with cool people, and meaningful conversations. I'm really into conscious creating, the law of attraction, spirituality, astrology, crystals, and other mystical things. I like to think I'm open minded and willing to learn and grow! Trying my best!! Always try to stay positive and smiling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all sorts of music. Really love Lana Del Rey, Beyonce, Drake, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson. I also love podcasts! Oprah's Supersoul Conversations is amazing! Yeah, I said it. I adore Oprah.

Favorite book is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Always leaves me super inspired.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed a mountain to see a "famous" psychic in rural Bulgaria who lives completely off the grid. She read my fortune by studying a cup from which I drank coffee. I paid her with cigarettes and chocolate.
