Laura

Director & co-founder - Head of Creative, Editorial, Photography and Travel.

Never happier than when exploring the world by bicycle, Laura read Classics at Cambridge University and worked as a map buyer for Stanfords Travel Bookshop before becoming a writer and photographer for Rough Guides, and then the author of Trailblazer’s guidebook ‘Himalaya by Bike’. She spent three years pedalling east and up and down from the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan to the stupa-studded mountain passes of Bhutan, usually alone and always on the lookout for food.

Because she was an unsporty child, Laura is a huge supporter of anyone who feels physically unconfident but is inexplicably drawn to a cycle challenge - whether that’s a one-day sportive or an open-ended cycle tour into the unknown. Now, after years of bicycle adventures all over the world, she is passionate about families sharing these experiences together and instilling an open-hearted wonder for our world.
