About Laura »

I have an insatiable desire to travel.

I'm a Journalism student at Columbia College Chicago.

I love sport. You name it, I play it.

I'm a vegetarian.

If I could live as a volunteer I would but, you know, it doesn't pay.

I love a good debate.

I dabble in photography, with a concentration in photojournalism.

Procurer of random facts.
