      1. hey Lauren! love your pictures and aspiration for travel! how do you photograph yourself in your photos? I’m just memorize by the interesting composition in your photos and how you execute your ideas!

  1. Hey Lauren,

    I absolutely love your photos. Huge congrats to you for being self-taught! I love the small details and the way each photograph invites into the adventure, seeming so natural and yet special, like something that came out of a story book. You’re causimg major Australia-wanderlust here in the US. Keep going, so excited to see your next move!

  2. Hey Lauren, I like your photos a lot. You really know how to use light in your photos in a very attractive way. I am also interested in photography especially when I am abroad. Which cameras do you use? Are there any book blog recommendations (that you follow and you think they help you to improve you shooting skills).
    All the best!!

  4. Hey! I absolutely love your photos and am into photography myself! What editing system do you use for your photos? Photoshop?

  5. Hey Lauren! I also want to live the same life you are leading to. If you can gove me some advice ar something like that so that I can alse live my dream. You are now a role model for me. Hope you see it. ☺

      1. You do exactly what I dream of doing! I am Australian too and seeing you do this makes me want to do it even more. I love traveling and being outdoors and would love to pursue this dream. How do you do it?!

  6. Hello Lauren! My name is katie, I’m 23 just graduated from college and feel so lost! I have been trying to figure out what I want to do and love traveling and photography just like you! I love your life style and was wondering how you started it all, how you go your photos out in the world and collaborated with other companies and how you get paid to travel! Looking forward from hearing from you! Thank you so much!

  7. All of your photos are just so different and unique. Your definitely a natural photographer 😊 Iv loved watching your adventures since way back when you were living in cairns (I’m a cairns girl so I somehow stumbled across you a year or so ago) your super inspiring 🙌 Lots of love x

  8. Hi Lauren,

    I really love your photos and you have an amazing IG account!
    I love making pictures too 🙂 I wonder what camera do you use for your pics ? And what kinds of retouching do you make on your Instagram pics ? Do you use some app like VSCO,… ? If yes, what filter do you use ? 🙂

    xx

  9. Gypsea Lust, I love your Instagram and your blog! You are so inspiring and whenever I look at your photos, it just makes me want to travel and explore so much more! Can I ask what lens you use? And if you possibly know a good canon or Tameron lens to use (I have a canon)? It seems like it is perfect for travel! I’ve decided to follow my passion and change careers and so I am currently teaching myself photography. Although as you might know with being self taught, sometimes it is difficult to get the right information! Seeing someone else who is self taught and has become successful is so inspiring!

  10. Hi Lauren,

    Love your watershots, do u use Aquatech housing with a domeport or the 25-70mm one with flat port?

    Cheer, keep bringing up the good stuff

    Xxx
    Mel

      1. Hi Lauren

        I have been an avid fan yours for a while now. I just really wanna say congratulations and thank you for inspiring others like me. I have been thinking of doing underwater shots and this helped me alot. I am waiting for the mark IV for canon before buying the housing in aquatech. did you get the elite one or the basic one? the 16-25 or 14-24 fits which lenses? I have 50mm,35, 1.4 and 801.2 but thinking of buying the 24-70mm soon after canon iv.

        Again thank you so much for being such a great inspiration. Please never stop!

        kindly
        Darlene

  11. Your Instagram is so inspiring❤️ And your pictures are amazing! I love fashion and traveling and right now I am going to school for fashion! I have never really thought of this as a career before but I look at so many amazing people like you and would just love to do what you do! I am curious how you even began to do what you do after you finished high school, and how you afford to travel everywhere! I also am wondering how you started getting recognized! I would love to hear back if it is not too much trouble! Xx – Hannah ❤️

    1. Hello, thanks! I didn’t do any study after high school, worked- saved and travelled, got into photography and began to gain following and jobs and now I am a full time travel social media influencer. I guess everyone is trying to do it too so my advice is to be authentic and stand out in some unique way. Thanks! X

  12. Hello! Your blog and Insta are amazing I’m so jealous. I Have a different question to everyone else which has arisen from following you for a while! The boys in your travel photos are you with them? (e.g in a relationship) or are you just friends or business partners?. I noticed many of your photos used to be with khy orchard what happened to him? and now many of your photos are with or by jack Morris? What’s your relo? I’m so curious. Sorry if this is a rude question!! But I hope you answer. Or maybe you can do a blog post about it! 🙂

  13. Hey Lauren! I love all of your photos. What is your job? I want to do the same thing that you do!

  14. Hello Lauren! I love all of your photos and admire your work and I was wondering who usually takes the pictures that you are in? Your blog is goals by the way!

  15. Hey Lauren, I just started following your page and wanted to say how inspired I am by you- I love being creative and could only hope that it leads into something half as amazing as your work. Congratulations on combining your passion with work. Look forward to following all of your adventures! Xx

  16. Hi Lauren, thanks for making and sharing amazing photos, I always look forward to seeing what your new post will be!

    Do you ever take any trips that aren’t for work now that your job is being a travel social media influencer?

    And do you like to have your travel plans made far in advance or more as you go, like do you already know where you will stay and who you will work with or do you just arrive and see what happens?

    1. Hello,
      I do a lot of my own travels, I’m on the road permanently at the moment, and don’t have all plans set out, just go along and see what happens, sometimes free accom Just pops up and then a job might come in and we will head there but go to other places around, I also work with fashion brands so that can be done anywhere I am. Thanks hope this is what you were wondering

  17. Hi Lauren,

    I was just wondering what the name of the airbnb you stayed at in Paris was called? Moving there in September from New Zealand and can’t decide where to stay while I look for a permanent flat

    Izzy

  18. Dear Lauren,

    as i love your pictures a lot i’d love to know how you do the self portraits, espcially the focus. How can you know it’s focused on you?

  19. Hey , just came across your Insta and I had to google what camera you used (don’t worry I won’t ask, I see you’ve answered a million times )! While I’m here let me say your images are MAGICAL, I wish I could be as brave as you and pack my bags and travel. Maybe someday. But for now I’m living off your photos. Hope you’re having fun, and keep doing what you do!

  20. Hey! I love what you do and your photos, they are so creatives!

    Your blog and your Instagram give me soooo many ideas about the places I want to visit next!

    I follow you on snapchat and I was wondering how you do to snap in the middle of the Sahara desert? How do you have internet there?

    Keep having fun and keep taking us on your adventures with your pictures! 🙂

  21. Hey Lauren! I randomly found you via IG and I’m so glad I did. You’re photos are beautiful and gives me so much inspiration and ideas where to go. I will be going to Italy for my honeymoon and I was wondering if you have any suggestions which spots to go to take some great shots in Rome? Anyway, I hope you are having fun in Morocco! (I follow you on snapchat as well ;)) Take care xx

  22. Hi Lauren, I just wanted to say that your photos are truly beautiful! I follow you on insta, your shots take us places and inspire me to get out of the couch myself and check out the beauty of our own great outdoors (I live in New Caledonia atm). Keep up the good work, and thanks for being so creative and for sharing info on your equipment 😉 xx

  23. Hi Lauren!
    I just found you recently while looking at some traveling accounts on Twitter and I just followed you on all social media because I’m obsessed with traveling. Someday I hope to be able to travel all of those places too, but with the travel social media influencer job, how exactly does it work? I’m a little confused. Keep up the great work and pictures!

  24. Hey Lauren! I´m 17 years old and I love photography,soon I would have to take on the responsability to choose a good career for my future, and in my country, Chile, this art is not very popular and valued. Although my dream is to travel all around the world.. but somtimes I think that life is very short and expensive to travel that much:( I don´t know what to do!! When I saw your photos and your travels I was likeee OMG inspired me so muchhh!!! Please give me an advice because you know a lot about photoraphyyy<3

  25. hi lauren! love your work so much. i know you use lightroom to edit your photos, but do you use a premade filter, and can you share which one, or do you just edit them all from scratch?

  26. Hi Lauren! I’ve been following you on Instagram and absolutely LOVE your pictures. You’re so talented!
    I was wondering when you use Lightroom for editing if you have personalized presets or do you use another type of preset such as VSCO? Thanks!

  27. I was wondering what camera should I start off with as a beginner because I am in love with taking pictures and I want to take it to the next level, any suggestions
    Xo

  28. I want to start using a nicer camera, do you have any suggestions that are not too expensive? Any suggestions!

  35. Hi there,

  36. Hi Lauren,

    I love your pictures, they are all so beautiful! What camera do you use? And do you and Jack use the same camera? Hope one day I can travel like you!

    Lots of love,

    Jenna Silver

  37. Hello Lauren! I really love and respect, sincerely, your photography work. Your (and Jack’s) photos are so inspiring, unique and iconic. Although there are so many amazing blogs, Instagram pages and influencers on the net, there is nothing in the whole online universe that could replace your stunning work. Thanks for sharing it! My favorite time of day is when my sister and I drink coffee together, after returning from work. Our “coffee ritual” usually starts by checking out your Instagram page with the inevitable question ‘let’s look where Lauren and Jack will take us today’ :))) We truly admire your creativity and originality! We are also passionate travelers and aspiring photographers. We would be very grateful if you could tell us a little bit about some of your photos. In your previous reply I read that you’ve been using full frame cameras (Nikon and Canon) and mostly 24-70mm 2.8f lens (also with prime lenses 35/50mm 1.4). Did you use this lens (or, perhaps, some other) to make those amazing photos where you and/or your partner are captured from a distance (like those pictures where you sit on the roof and watching Paris, relaxing by the pool at Riad Yasmine in Marrakech or at Hotel La Mamounia, standing on the rocks around Cracker Lake, or those made in Cappadocia with camel, carpets and balloons). I hope we are not asking for too much. We know you are busy so we would like to thank you in advance for your time.

    We wish you and Jack all the best!

    Mirza & Amila

    P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

  38. What type of lenses do you use for your Nikon d750? I’m looking for some. One for landscape pictures, one for portrait style, and one for whatever else.

  39. Hi Lauren! I’m Laura, from @nomadduomovement on Instagram, a couple from Portugal 🙂 We admire your work very much and you inspire us everyday! We started our own project, which is now finally starting to pay back. We were hoping you could answer a couple of questions for us: do you choose where you’re going and contact hotels to collaborate with you (you choose your clients), or are you hired to go somewhere and stay in some hotel (your clients choose you)? How was it at the beginning?

    We already got some collaborations with brands and touristic activities/sport companies but we want to take the next step into hotels and travel agencies. You are the most inspirational figure for us, so we were wondering how it was for you!

    Thank you and keep it up! 🙂

    Love from Portugal <3

  40. Hi Lauren! I really love your pictures, especially those minimalistic ones. Just wondering, I understand that you must have used a tripod when taking pictures with both you and Jack in them, but is it ever a concern of yours that your camera gets stolen or damaged if you leave if too far away from yourself? 😛

  41. Hi Lauren
    I am absolutely blowed by yours and Jacks work, spirit and courage! You really seem to live everyones dream and I am happy and motivated to see that this way of life is possible by just following your dreams and stay true. When looking trough your pictures I was wondering who is taking the pictures when you are both on it? Are you using a tripod?
    By the way, it is amazing how reliable you answer the comments, harly seend this before on such successful sites!
    Best wishes
    X Delaia

  42. What camera do you use and how did you begin photography? Any advice? You’re such an inspiration, from someone coming from nearby (Lennox too)! Xx

  43. Hi Lauren! I’ve recently stumbled across your Instagram account, and I am in awe of your work. 🙌❤️ It’s so nice to see people like you who share your talent and passion to photography enthusiasts like me to go out there, shoot, and be authentic and fearless. Please continue to inspire! Also, I just want to mention that you and your partner Jack are #relationshipgoals! 😍

  44. Hi!
    Love your IG account, beautiful pictures…. but asking myself: how do you take the perfect pictures of yourself and your partner when you are both on the picture??! 🙂

  45. Hi Lauren! I’m so curious what lenses you keep in your camera bag? I’m going to be traveling quite a bit and and am just starting out with a Nikon D3200. Would love to hear what you’d recommend.

    Thank you for all of your beautiful and inspiring images!!
    -Lily

  46. Your photos are enchanting! I cannot stop browsing your feed. Who takes the long distance shots of you and Morris? Do you ask other people to take the shots or do you just use a timer and tripod? Thanks!

  47. Self-taught photographer? The photos are sooooo amazing that that’s hard to believe. So fantastic.

    Love your style…. 👣👣👣👣👣

  48. Hey lovely! Just wondering what kind of camera does your partner use? And also, how long did it take for you to get to where you were from posting on Instagram, like how long/how big a following before you started getting paid to travel! 🙂

  49. Hey! I’m 15 years old and I love photography, self taught like you, and honestly your page led me to deciding what I want to do with my life. I was always unsure But now I’m sure of it that I want to travel the world. I feel like its going to be extremely hard so do you have any advice? Keep inspiring.

    Grant

  50. Hi Lauren!

    I love your work – it’s very inspiring! I always look forward to where your next adventure will take you. My apologies if you’ve already answered this question previously. I was just wondering what tripod you and Jack use or one you could recommend? I’m looking for one that is lightweight, so it would be easy to carry while backpacking.

    Happy travels! 🙂

  51. Hi This is Sonya from China. I really like your photos. May I ask..did you use any filter (like VSCO FILM) in Lightroom? Any advice for editing the photos. Thanks!

  52. Hi This is Sonya, from China. I really like your photos! May I ask if you use any fliter (like VSCO FILM) on Lightroom to edit your photos or not? Any suggestion? Thanks a lot!

  53. How do you managed to visit such a beautiful
    places? Do companies pay you to travel?
    Do you earn money from blogs,photos etc?
    I just wanna know cuz i like travelling like you and take incredible photos.

  54. Hey ! Greece here🇬🇷 I love so much your article about greece I think it really gave justice to my country but also very real!❤️ What I would like to ask though is how you edit your pictures and with what apps. Keep up inspiring people❤️
    *Sorry if my english are not good enough

  55. hello. love your photos. they are soO beautiful. Just like u:) if its not secret what editing program do u use? thank you in advance. good luck x

  56. Hi Lauren, your travels and photography are inspiring!! I’m just wondering what editing program you use for your pics?

  57. Hi Lauren! Not sure if my last comment sent (might have accidentally deleted) but I was wondering how you edit your photos, the process you go through? I looked through your interviews and didn’t see anything mentioned about that.
    I also was wondering how you made traveling your job? In the last 2 years I’ve traveled to ~14 countries and I have a passion for traveling but I’m guess I’m looking for some advice on how to make a job out of my passion. If you’d like to check out my instagram(kirankandola) and give me some feedback on my photos as well that would be amazing!
    And lastly if you’d ever be interested I think it’d be such a cool opportunity to travel with you! ☺️
    Thanks so much for taking the time to read this!

  58. These pictures are great! What I want to know is how do you find the money to travel? My fiancee and I aren’t able to go anywhere for a while. Saving up takes a while. Plus we have a mortgage to pay for and only have 2 weeks holidays. Ugh sometimes life can be hard. You have a great, interesting life! So happy you figured out how to do that.

  59. Hello,
    I’m from Canada and about the same age as you but living a much less exciting life than you, haha. I was wondering how you initially started out and we’re able to afford to start travelling and blogging? Also, how do you manage to keep in shape whIle travelling so much.

    Beautiful work, I look forward to seeing more to come.

    Thanks!

  60. Hi Lauren, copy cats are a compliment to your great work!! Keep up with the amazing travels, inspiring us all 🙂 🙂 Don’t let anyone ruin your sparkle

  61. Hey. I just wondering how you doing this? I really want too..to travel the world with my partner. but u have to have lo of money i guess. Any advice how to start?? Thanks alot

  62. Hi lauren, im a beginner off travelling.. How do you find all those many beautiful places? Because im in love with your pictures!

  63. Hello Lauren
    I’ve just found your Instagram feed and blog and echo other peoples’ sentiments – your photography is simply stunning.

    May I ask – do you eat mainly fruit on your travels because you both look so healthy? There’s been a lot in the Press lately about how fruit-eating can have health benefits, so I just wondered.

    Look forward to seeing more of your work and best wishes to you and Jack.

      1. This particularly piqued my interest as I’m vegetarian too. Is it easy to get vegetarian food when you’re on the go? I usually have a tough time!

  64. I just love your blog and Instagram posts! You are truly an inspiration, especially for young people looking to follow their dreams! I was always brought up to live a safe life, get a job, work for someone else, but this past year I started my own travel consultant company and vowed to never work under someone again. I help people book amazing vacations and get the most out of their trip, I’m also a frequent traveler myself going somewhere new every other month or so. Would love to discuss with you perhaps promoting my business on your pages (for a fee of course) given you have the exact following I need, and a similar name to my business! Or perhaps even meeting up in one of my next locations to collaborate, I’ll be in Costa Rica next month and Maui, Hawaii come February. Looking forward to hearing from you and check out my website in the meantime! http://www.WanderlustJetsetter.com

  65. What is the filter you use to edit your photos? Or the detailed process you go through editing such as how much exposure you use etc.
    If you don’t want to disclose this what direct filters would you recommend for a Caribbean vacation?

  66. I have totally fallen in love with your pics! <3 I was wondering one thing: have you studied travelling etc.? Or if you haven't where have you studied and what? 🙂

  67. Hey Lauren you are amazing!
    How did your sucess story start? when did you start noticing that your following was growing?
    Do you have any tips on how to turn your instagram into a bussines?
    Stay awesome💕

  68. Hey Lauren & Jack !

    Happy New Year 2017 !

    Your photos and lifestyle are making me dreaming BIG !

    Long and Happy Lifetravel ,Keep up !

  69. You are a true inspiration Lauren. I’m also from Northern NSW (Byron Bay) & I’m adventure obsessed. I was so happy to read that you are self taught, me too! It’s kind of funner that way 🙂
    I’d love to collab if ever an opportunity. Much love! Sarah (IG – saltyluxe)

  70. How are you able to travel so much? 😍
    Like get time off work and money to go to all these places. Would love tips haha. ❤️
    24 year old female.

  71. Hey lauren amazing blog! Might i ask…you use one preset for every picture on lightroom? or you have more than one preset?

  72. Heyy! Just wondering how you started travelling before you got paid to travel? Like how did you afford it beforehand? xx love your photos! Your are such an inspiration xox

  73. Lauren you are a total inspo to me and I have been following you for a really long time! Just wanna say kudos to you babe! You were and are totally different in a sea of sheep! You took a social media platform and turned it into a real life that you will be able to look back on and say you lived fully! Totally jelly! I wanna jetset off after working and saving and I wanna be free for at least a part of my life! No question really, just some good vibes for your feed, your photos are answer enough x

  74. Please could you do a Cape Town trip at some point! Your photos would be mad beautiful! And I’d love to see my hood from your eyes!

  75. Hey Lauren,
    I was just wondering what camera you used when you began photography. Jack and your photography is such an inspiration!

  76. Hi Lauren!😊
    I’m Alfonso, from Spain. I love your photos and jack’s photos too. Can you please tell me wich filtres do you use or how you edit photos? Will love a tutorial!❤
    Best whishes from Spain for you and Jack

    1. Great question! If you use preset filters, can you please tell us what applications you use? And any tips on how to make amazing content that looks so bright yet very balanced out with other photos? Please! Would be helpful!!! 😋

      1. Hey, I use Lightroom for all edits, I have consistent edits, as I’ve found my style and stick to it, save my presets and always just tweak to suit each image. hope this helps!

  77. Hi Lauren,

    I am a 16 year old who has just started blogging. I have always been a very creative-minded person with a passion for photography, editing, travel, blogging etc. The only issue I have currently is that I’m not sure where to start out in the “camera” scheme of things. I want a camera that takes super good quality shots, but don’t know where to even start because when I research cameras, most of the ones with good reviews are at an incredibly high price point. I’m just wondering if you have any recommendations for me?

    Thanks so much xx

    1. Hi, ahhh maybe canon 70D? Sorry its been sooo long since I’ve looked into smaller cameras I don’t really know whats on the market, best to go into your local camera store!

  78. Hi Lauren, your photos are amazing, well done! I was wondering which country has been your favourite that you’ve visited so far & why? X

  79. Hi Lauren, I am a huge fan of your pictures. I am trying to get started with traveling and photography this year. What camera would you recommend for starters? Thanks in advance!!

  80. Hey Lauren!! You are such an inspiration to me. I love your work and my friends and I marvel over your amazing pictures and even though we aren’t out of high school we want to be just like you and travel the world!! We were just wondering what lenses you use, how do u take ur underwater photos and what camera do you use, I’m sorry this is so much but we have to do a project and we choose you ILY

  81. Hi Lauren,
    I am Rachna, from India….
    I wanted to know if there’s any possibility too work with you people..

  82. Hi Lauren,
    I am Rachna, from India….
    I wanted to know if there’s any possibility to* work with you people..

  83. when did you first realized that you wanted to travel for the rest of your life & how did your family take it.

  84. Hi, I love all your pics- your water pics in particular. May I ask which camera you would recommend for water shots? I saw you suggested Canon/Nikon is previous comments, but I’m wondering if you have a separate camera for water photographs or if you just use an underwater housing. Please and thanks!

  85. I’m curious- since you and your partner are both professional bloggers, how do you decide who gets to post which photos? Do you always take the same picture twice to feature you both respectively? I did notice that you often post the same photos as well. Does it ever get competitive?

    1. Hey,
      No its not at all competitive, if we like a oh too and we both want a photo there then we both get one, sometimes one of us post it, other times we both do, and sometimes no-one posts it! We are both there taking the pictures together, so we don’t take ownership and get competitive about it, that would take the fun away from it. We do try and mix it up and take a little bit of a different image, but sometimes theres only one really good shot of it, and we aren’t going to stop one another having the opportunity to share it if we want to 🙂

  86. Hey, Iam very much inspired by seeing your instagram. Please tell me your source of income to meet all these travel expenses..

  87. Hi Lauren!
    I’m Alejandra from Colombia and your pictures really inspire , you’re cute and your pictures very beautiful, Excellent job.

  88. Hi Lauren

    What do you use to keep your hair so healthy and blonde while your travelling/in the sun a lot.
    Just want to say your blog in incredible also btw.

    🙂

    1. Hey! To keep it blonde I use a toner, I don’t swim in chlorine pools, no particular shampoos or conditioners.. naturally have really fine and smooth hair. hope this helps!

  89. Hello I’m Ashley I was just wondering how do you get all this money to travel and live places? I’ve been dying to travel and I just can’t scrape up enough money to do it. Thanks!

    1. I used to just save my butt off, and travel on a reasonable budget depending how long I went for, and now I am a travel influencer, so I make money online which allows me to make money on the road.

  90. Hi Laura,

    I love your instagram and your articles 🙂 May I ask how did you grow your followers? Is there something a site/app you used? Because I know these days people would have thousands of followers, but they also follow the same amount of users. Or did you grow your followers account over time?

    Also, did you start off using hashtags too?

    Would love to know!

    Love,
    fellow traveler

  91. Another photography question, since your work is so lovely! What lenses do you travel with? I’m a photographer, and have quite a few lenses, but always get torn on what to bring when I travel. It’s a lot of added weight!

  92. Hey Lauren,
    Just wondering if you could give me a tip on editing. I know you use Lightroom…..I have a trip coming up and won’t be able to take a laptop with me, so all my editing will need to be done just on my phone. I do have Lightroom on my phone, but it seems far more limited (obviously) than on the Mac. Do you have any tips or ideas on great editing apps for the phone?

  93. Hi Lauren!!
    How did you start making money off of travelling ? & is it only from Instagram that you make money?

    What’s your secret!!! I’ve always dreamt of a life like yours but I have no idea how or where to start. Travelling the world before I die is my dream.
    Ps I love all of your pictures so much!

  94. Hi Lauren,

    I’m Laura, from The Netherlands. Love your photos and blog! I was wondering, what is you most used lense during your trips?

    We are planning on going to Sri Lanka and I own a Canon 5D mark III myself and since that body is heavy enough already, I would like to take 1 (or maybe 2) lenses with me.

    Thank you!
    Laura

  95. Hi, I’m Rose I have a couple questions how did you get your start blogging and what editing system do u use? Thank you!:)

  96. Hey lauren,

  97. Hey, it would be great if you could make a guid video maybe, which teachs how to design photos in your style because they’re amazing!.

  98. Hi! Where do you list the names of the hotels, resorts and commercial places that you visit?? They are all so fabulous! Thank you!

  99. Hi Lauren,

    I am huge huge fan of ours. I am very fond of photography as well. But what lenses are your favourites , what do u use generally ?

  100. Hey,

    When both of you are in the same pic, who takes it? I would think that autoshot will not catch just the best one 🙂

  101. hey, uhm I am Marc Basubas from Philippines and i really am a fan of your pics on instagram. i know’you use lightroom but my question is what to adjust? im really looking forward for you to tell me tho, thank you and God bless 😀

  102. Love your work! I’m curious as to how you guys always manage to be alone in your shots? I get it when you’re on some island or so… but places like Rome and Paris..?! What do you do with all the tourists? How do you make it look like you’re alone in the city?

  103. Adore your blog and Instagram! How do you edit your photos? Would love for the photos I hang in my house to have a similar style. Do you use vsco presets in Lightroom? Any favorites or tips?

  104. Hi Lauren!😊
    I’m Simon, from Vietnam.I love your photos and jack’s photos too. Do you have a plan for the next trips ?
    Best whishes from Spain for you and Jack 🙂

  105. Hello, Lauren! I love your photos and would love to know how you managed to become a travel influencer in more detail… If you traveled on your own and someone discovered your photos and started paying you for the job or if you looked for places that might interest in what you do.

  106. Hey Lauren,
    Can you buy Lightroom as an app? Or do you buy it as a “package” and then install it?
    Do you know roughly the cost? And would you say it’s worth it?
    Your photos are amazing x

  107. How do you become a travel influencer? I do photography but I have no idea how to get clients/ get to where you are and be able to travel all over. My dream life is your life!

  108. Hii Lauren

    I’m Tia from Indonesia. I want travelling with you and your partner jack😢😢. I wish i will meet youu soon

  109. Do you have a twin? I saw another account that looks either exactly like you, or she’s copying your photos!

  110. Hey!!
    I am a hug fan of yours! I have always wanted to be a travel blogger. Any tips on how to get big and take great pictures?

  111. Hi! I absolutely love your photos. I am heading to Europe soon and would love to know your presets in Lightroom!

  112. Loved the pic where one giraffe posing for the camera and the other is sharing a meal with you guys!…. :)… Just started a blog – would love a tip or 2 from you guys :)..

  113. Hi Lauren,
    I’m also interested in photography. I was just wondering what camera you use? And if you did any courses or anything? Or if it was completely self taught and then promoted your name and photos through social media? Thanks x

  114. Hi, im Robin and i am 14 years old. Ofc im fan of your pictures but what filters do you use🙂 And i was wondering how did you start your instagram and was it hard?

  115. Hi Lauren,
    I have been followed you on Instagram for awhile, but this was my first time I clicked on your blog. I must say I like the blog more because you gave us more insight about the destinations you have been. But well… Instagram can reach more people. I found your photos really amazing without so much retouching. Keep up the good works and have a safe trip, no matter where you are going 🙂 Cheers!
    P.S.: As a full-time traveller, may I ask you a question? Do you sometimes feel homesick? I know you are travelling with your partner, but do you occasionally wish to have a few days with your family, for example, Eastern, Christmas, etc.?

  116. Bon dia
    I just disvovered your blog. Nice job! Hope one day you come to the caribbean and visit Bonaire “the divers paradise” and hopefully you like it and we meet. Wish all your travel dreams come through!

  117. Bonjour Lauren !

  118. I love your photos, Lauren! You have such a great idea and your photos really tell a story. What lenses do you usually use when you’re travelling? Isn’t it heavy to lug around different lenses?

  119. Hey Lauren! I’ve been traveling for the past 2 years while in and out of NYC to keep my day job. It’s been an exciting journey and I’d like to continue. But, I realized something that always get out of rhythm for me is my health and fitness routine. Any tips for how you stay fit in your travels? Especially for more tropical/nature places which don’t offer gyms. Or, more foreign countries were a salad isn’t most readily available.

    Thanks!

    1. Hey,
      My boyfriend and I are very big fans of your and Jack’s photos! We love how you edit your pics and find always the best locations. You are defenitly such an Idol and inspiration to us every day☀️ Your pictures impressed our soul and convinced us to go on the Road… And well now we are travelling south East Asia for 3 months and it’s beautiful (and worth the hard work before :D) ✨
      We are currently in Indonesia and it would be so amazing if we meet each other someday!:)
      Keep going,
      Isi & Leon from Germany 🌴

  120. Hi. Beautiful photos! What size of laptop do you prefer? I’m considering the 13 or 15 Macbook Pros. 13 is better for portability, but 15 is more powerful for video. What do you prefer? Thanks!

  121. Hi Lauren, im such a big fan of your work! You and jack are the cutest, #goals. How long does it take you to developed, and find your style of editing in lightroom ? and are you satisfied with most of the stuff you shot and edited or are you constantly trying to change your style and technique?

  122. Hello, I am Mariel from Dominican Republic. I love your photos and what you do!! Keep inspiring others!
    I am working on a blog and an IG account (Visit.DR) to encourage people to Visit Dominican Republic. If you ever think about to come here contact me.

  123. Hi Lauren!

    Do you have any tips to avoid photo equipment from being stolen on the beach?
    For example, when both of you are in the photo and far from the camera, or when you go to take a bath together. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

  124. Hi Lauren,

    I enjoy seeing your travels incredibly! One of my girlfriends and I are leaving for Thailand and Singapore in a week and I was wondering if any of the places you’ve visited really stood out and are a must go while Im there? Thanks for your time 🙂

  125. Hi Lauren, I am also a huge fan of your imageries you create and I can’t get enough of looking at your pictures! Soon I have the opportunity to explore Bali that’s why I wanted to ask you if you can recommend 2-3 beaches which are particularly beautiful (= instagramworthy 😊). Please do continue your great work. Julia

  126. Hi there. I love you photos. I would just like to know how you took the aerial photo in the white water pool?

  127. Hi Lauren! I like so much your photos😍. Any recommendations from your own presets? Contrast, brightness, saturation, temperature…
    Thank you!!

  128. Hi Lauren,

    I know I, and everyone else have asked you this but what camera do you use? You photo’s make me feel calm within and I want my photos to be able to do that for my friends and family when I take photos of my travel =)

  129. Hi Lauren,

    I hope you are well and I absolutely adore your Instagram feed (love your twinnie’s Insta too, am a twinnie myself :)) My hubby is about to go on an incredible 5 month walk from London to Israel. He is wondering whether he should take a laptop or iPad?

    He loves taking photographs too and editing them – I’m saying laptop (Macbook Air because it’s not that much heavier than a larger size iPad and think photography editing and blogging would be so much easier) but he is thinking iPad! 🙂

    What do you guys travel with? Since you guys would be experts at travelling light but need technology at your fingertips, would love to know what works best for you guys

    Thanks so much,
    Heidi from the Gold Coast 🙂

  130. Hi there Lauren!
    Big fan of your travels! Very inspiring shots and locales. Do you find a language barrier when you travel to asia? Or find it hard to fit in with locals? You look tall from photos and I’m always curious if its a hindrance when you travel to certain areas.

  131. Hi Lauren! I’m totally in love with your work and traveling, its really incredible!! Maybe this is the most requested question off all, I wonder wich camera do you use? For example places with a lot off beautiful details? I also wonder which lens you use?
    Hope you answer, 🤗

  132. I’m not sure if you’ve answered this question but which cameras do you and Jack use? And what do you edit on?

  133. Hey Lauren – love all your travel posts. I love to travel myself. We are going to Tanzania next and wondered if you guys had been there and if you any good tips on the best safari tours out there?

  136. Hi Lauren!
    I was wondering what camera you have? I love all of your pictures and your travels and adventures look like tons of fun! I admire your taste in locations and in fashion!

  137. Hey Lauren I love your work I am just wishing to know what types of cameras you and jack use to take pictures and film with and also what you use to edit your pictures and films??

  138. Hello. I see that you don’t update your website too often. I know that writing posts is boring
    and time consuming. But did you know that there is a tool that allows you to create new articles using existing
    content (from article directories or other
    blogs from your niche)? And it does it very well.
    The new articles are high quality and pass the copyscape test.
    You should try miftolo’s tools

  139. Hey, I would like to use you as a case study for my research question which is ” how do influencers market themselves ”.
    How would you reply to this question concerning yourself?

    Btw your pictures are amazing!

  140. How do you manage to travel this many countries and how can I be like you i just want some opportunity or some advice because i want to travel and i have no clue how to..
    If you just give some advice like any course i can do or anything else it’ll be very very very grateful.
    Please give some guidance. Please.

  141. You look so tall on your picture! how tall are you? is it just the amazing angle you take your pictures in are you are just extremly tall? 🙂

  142. Hey Lauren,

    I have been following you for more than a couple of years now. Your photos and travel life is astonishing. I dream the same and finally have decided to take steps towards living my dream.

    If there are any guides or tips that you would like to add to get into this lifestyle would really help me motivate my mind. In the initial days how likely it is to support the expenses for travel when you quit your job?

    My Instagram handle is @mountainpenguine

  143. hey Lauren! I love your account so much and I am currently in college as a photojournalism major and would love to do what you do! im trying to make my Instagram theme look good like yours does! how exactly do you edit your pictures in Lightroom?

  144. Hi! love your photos. What time do you usually shoot your photos? What do you do for very bright photos when it’s about noon?

    1. I prefer to shoot around ‘golden hour’ morning and afternoon, usually depending when the location is best for different light. I try not to shoot in the middle of the day, sometimes beach locations are nice in the middle of the day so the water is lit up, for this I would usually use a ND filter to block some of the glare! thanks
