Welcome Aboard!

I'm Laurence, a spunky, trilingual 26-year-old who eats cereal every morning for breakfast. I've traveled to 29 countries, lived on 4 continents, and hardly ever match my clothing. 

​Globe Hop is a place you'll find photography from near and far, updates about my worldly whereabouts and reflections I make along the way. Multiculturalism, social change, and forests are frequented themes in blog posts.

PHOTOGRAPHY
I snap pictures to 1. remember the intricacies of life in a new place, 2. help with memory retention once I'm back home, but mostly to 3. pretend I'm a National Geographic explorer. In a nutshell, I fill memory cards like it's my job. Lucky for you, I've compiled thousands into dozens.

Study Abroad: My Crazy Story

I studied in 5 cities in 3 countries and learned 2 languages. My degree took 3 years instead of 4 and cost less than if I had stayed put.

Three-quarters of my undergraduate credits came from courses I took while not physically in the city where my university was based.
