Work with Me
Hi, I’m Laura!
Author of 2 travel books
Let’s get the word out about your business or destination and its unique aspects for an active or adventure traveler.
My blog and social media showcase these activities especially mountain biking, hiking & camping, golfing, skiing, or kayaking. I highlight all the juicy details on local activities, unique lodging, events, where to rent bikes or gear, restaurant suggestions, and route/trail tips.
Looking for an authentic story and a female perspective? My goal is to connect the destination with the traveler….to help niche audiences find trip inspiration and fun ideas for adventure vacation planning.
