Hi Everyone!
I thought I’d make my first post about me and give a little intro. So here I go :)
My name is Lauren and I was born and raised in the City of Los Angeles to parents of immigrant descent. My father is originally from Germany and my mother is from Peru. Now, you might say, “What an Interesting mix!”- I know. Who would have ever thought these two would have met in California at a place called Alpine Village and end up getting married and having three children? Crazy, huh?
Anyways, because of my father i am lucky enough to be part of the dual citizenship club. And I made sure to take advantage of this after college by moving to Germany. And then from what I thought would be a maximum of 1 year ended up turning into 4.5 years. And boy was this experience an eye-opener on so many levels.
Anyways, to fast track my introduction, I just moved to London this year to start a whole new journey. Which brings me to me and this account! I plan to use it to share with you all my future experiences such as my travels (28 countries so far) and milestones in life. Or perhaps things that i find of interest and feel like sharing! In the end, I just hope i can inspire some of you to go out and be spontaneous, live life to its fullest and live without fear :)
Cheers!
Oh and in case you were wondering.... German+Peruvian = Geruvian :)

Hey! I actually live in Europe :) I'm currently living and working in London. Europe is truly a wonderful place to live in. Everything is so close and easy to get to. As for living in the U.S i think it depends where! West Coast is the best! But maybe I am being bias haha

Japan is my new fave!
German has got to be my second! With family near Hannover and friends in Berlin it always feels like home from home!
3rd place has to be Brazil! So many mixed emotions about that place. In Rio you see everything! I was 23 at the time so it was an eye opener!
I might have to do a graff project at some point in Iceland! If your feed back is good It might just make next years list ;)

7 so far but will add another 4-5 countries including Portugal for SteemFest 2017 at Lisbon this year. My plan is to visit atleast 5 new countries every year.
Iceland is huge on my list but I think it will have to wait another year perhaps. I want to see the northern lights.

Thank you! And I guess it’s an honor then, haha.
Funny story actually. When I made a joke once to a stranger saying I was geruvian...they responded by saying “oh yeah? I’ve been there. What a wonderful place?” And I had no other choice but to laugh and ask him to tell me more about this “place” ;)
Followed you too
