About

Laura is an award-winning journalist, travel writer and broadcaster based in the West Midlands. She has worked with the BBC, Conde Nast Traveller, Euronews, The Independent Travel, Lonely Planet and Which? Travel, among others. She recently appeared on GB News to explain passengers’ consumer rights after the delays and cancellations caused by September’s air traffic control glitch.

Before specialising in travel, Laura was LADbible Group’s first ever SEO journalist, tasked with increasing the social media giant’s search traffic. Before that, she was a reporter for Free Radio, covering the West Midlands. Laura has also done a stint at teaching journalism students as a guest lecturer at the University of Wolverhampton.

In 2021, Laura launched the True Travel Podcast where each week she interviews a guest about their unique and inspiring adventures. She also creates travel guide episodes which focus on a specific destination rather than a guest. The podcast has been downloaded in over 40 countries with the UK, USA and Germany being the biggest listeners.
