Welcome! I can’t wait to share all about Exploren Lauren with you! I’m Lauren, and I’ve had a passion for travel and food for my entire life. Now this blog is a collection of my travel recommendations, tips and tricks and even recipes to make you feel like you’re still traveling.
Growing up the granddaughter of a travel writer meant hearing stories of far away lands with fascinating foods and sights to see. My postcard and coin collection from her travels made me eager to see these places for myself.
I was lucky enough to grow up traveling with my family, and during my Junior Year of college I decided to study abroad in Granada, Spain. This was when I knew that I wanted to make full-time travel a priority after graduating from college. Unfortunately, COVID had other plans.
In 2023, I left my job in NYC and decided that it was time to experience full-time travel. Over 7-months I was able to travel to 22 more countries and have life-altering experiences.
Now, I’ve traveled to a total of 46 countries spanning across 5 continents. I can’t wait to share my travel experiences, tips + tricks with you. My hope is that this blog will help encourage you to travel, and start building your own travel bucket list. Feel free to follow along on my Instagram and Pinterest!
Get Exploren!
