About Me!

Hey! I’m Laura, the person behind LiveAdventureTravel.com. I want to take a moment to welcome you to my blog and thank you for taking an interest in my travel tips, advice and itineraries.

I am an Irish Content Creator who has a passion for travel, the outdoors and content creation. The purpose of my brand Live Adventure Travel is to promote a range of travel experiences from around the globe with the use of Videography, Photography, Travel Writing and Storytelling.

I do this by creating shareable travel content that will help assist my followers and readers on their travels. All while promoting fun and interesting experiences in each destination I visit.

I also work on a freelance basis and offer skills in camera & drone photography/videography, travel writing, video editing and visual and written travel guides. I have a Degree in Music Production which has led to me developing strong skills in video and audio editing.

So, if you are in need of a Podcast, Youtube or Tiktok editor send me over a DM 😉 You can check out my work with me page to see an example of my work.

HOW DID LIVE ADVENTURE TRAVEL COME TO BE?

I originally started this blog back in 2017, as a little hobby, something to do in my spare time. My posts were not overly informative, in fact, they were written in a diary-style format and the only people who read them were my Mother and Father 🙈 (If you are interested you can see my original writing style at the end of my Ireland’s Stairway to Heaven blog post). 

Fast forward to 2019, I ended up in a pretty bad accident which resulted in months of bed rest, operations and physio to learn to walk again. Yes, that’s right, I basically isolated in my house before it was cool 😎. I watched more Netflix series than I thought was humanly possible, I indulged in my favourite goodies and I longed for the moment my family members finished work so I would have someone to talk to. This period in my life was extremely difficult, I am quite an outgoing person so spending months in one room really didn’t suit my personality.

At that time, all I could dream about was travelling once again. I wanted to do it all, hike the Rockies, backpack Asia and experience European Culture. Thankfully, the year previous to my accident I had spent a month road trippin’ across the Northern States of America. That meant I had something new to write about. I decided to use my newfound time wisely, bought a book on SEO and turned my Diary Entries into informative blog posts.

Fast forward 3 years, I can thankfully say I am able to walk again without a limp. I have started to climb mountains and I appreciate new experience far more than I used to. The accident changed my whole perspective on life for the better, and although it was a horrible time for me I don’t regret it one bit. Because that experience lead me to do what I love, and that’s to travel.

I have since gone on to travel my home country Ireland. I pride myself in being a true Ireland Travel Expert. I love to see peoples face light up when planning a trip. It is my goal to help those who read my blog see more than just the ‘typical’ attractions the Emerald Isle has to offer.

In summer 2022, I spent 4 months backpacking across Europe, visiting over 11 countries and creating memories that will last a lifetime. I am currently in the process of creating in-depth Europe Travel guides to help my readers have the same experience ❤️

Thanks for taking an interest in my story. I hope you find fun and informative guides here on my website. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me on Instagram.
