Here’s a woman who lives and breathes writing – and the summer season. These two elements combined with her passion for photography (and bikinis!) meant she was an ideal candidate to send to Phuket for a luxury escape worth over $10,000 in value. The great thing about Laura is she’s a genuine storyteller with a can-do attitude.  She thinks big and is good at what she does.  So good in fact, that when she’s not chasing the ‘Endless Summer’, she’s writing for leading publications and speaking at industry events around Australia. Another notch in her belt is her gig at M&C Saatchi Australia as the Senior Social Content Writer, along with her guest lecturing spot at design and tech innovator General Assembly in Sydney.  Phew –… Read more »

The ocean view from breakfast in the dining room (which is more like a giant glass open-sided terrarium that also happens to contain all of my tropical dream-house pinterest boards meshed into one) set the stage for our… Read more »
