Lauren is a freelance writer and content specialist based in New Zealand. With over seven years of experience in journalism, social media, and digital storytelling, she loves crafting engaging stories that connect and inspire.
A self-confessed content lover, she’s usually busy crafting articles, eye-catching social posts, and memorable marketing content. When she’s not at her desk, you’ll find her exploring Queenstown’s buzzing food scene, covering local events, or dancing the night away at a bangin’ festival.
Originally from the UK, she swapped city streets for alpine trails nearly a decade ago and now calls stunning Queenstown home. Surrounded by mountains, lakes, and endless adventure, Lauren thrives outdoors. She’s an avid trail runner, hiker, and explorer who’s always chasing the next adventure—both on and off the page.
