About Laura

Writer, traveler, and creator of Florence Unlocked and Dream Builder.

I taught English in Florence, Italy and have spent more than a decade exploring Italy, France, and beyond.

After moving to Florence and falling in love with the city, I began collecting the places, experiences, and moments most visitors never find. Today I help travelers discover a more personal, meaningful version of Italy through Florence Unlocked and Dream Builder.

When I’m not exploring Italy, you’ll usually find me writing fiction, chasing beautiful light, or wandering through the woods in a fabulous dress.
