Hi! I’m Lauren and welcome to Redwood Roams!
I have always loved travelling and exploring new places. This love of travel stems from many a Redwood family holiday when my sister and I were younger and now I have the travel bug I just can’t stop.
In 2023 my partner and I decided to take a career break from our stable careers, as a pharmacist and a scientist, in favour of an almighty open-ended trip to South East Asia and Oceania. We packed up our rented flat, sold many of our belongings, purchased 2 backpacks and off we went!
We haven’t looked back and we’ve learnt a lot which brings us to here. Redwood Roams has been a long time coming, bubbling away in the background usually in the form of recommendations for friends sent over WhatsApp. It seemed only fair that the huge amount of knowledge and skills learnt on this trip and others be shared with the world in one space.
