About Me

Hey there! I’m Laurin – the heart, soul, and shutter behind Laurin’s Lens. I’m a travel lover, adventure seeker, animal enthusiast, and storyteller with a camera in hand and a curious spirit leading the way.

My journey began with a simple desire: to see more, feel more, and share the beauty of the world with others. Whether it’s wandering through ancient cities, hiking to hidden waterfalls, or meeting the incredible people (and animals!) who call this planet home, I’m always chasing that next unforgettable moment.

When I’m not on the road, I’m home working my full time job as a Respiratory Therapist, helping make a difference in the lives of others.

I also spend my time loving on my pets (2 dogs, 2 cats, & 1 macaw parrot) whom I miss very much on my time away traveling.

Through Laurin’s Lens, I hope to do more than just share pretty pictures. I want to tell the stories behind them – the quiet moments, the wild adventures, and the connections that make travel so magical.

I also want to inspire you to travel to that “bucket-list” vacation you’ve always dreamed of and experience the world through your lens.

This blog is my love letter to the world, and I’m so glad you’re here to experience it with me.

Let’s explore together – one photo, one place, and one heartfelt story at a time.
