an invitation from laura

Hello to you adventurous souls,

Come with me on a fun-filled, thought provoking, salty adventure, exploring the crystal blue waters of the Sapphire Coast. Play with the puppies of the sea, walk on sacred lands, laugh under the stars.

Let my curiosity of all things nature encourage and inspire you to connect with the natural world around you, understand how your very existence relies on the macro-world of phytoplankton and the mega world of sharks, and learn to appreciate the fact that even whale poop gives you life!

Make some new friends with similar values, explore a part of our Country you may have never stepped foot on and come with an open mind!

Let’s get salty and re-connected!

Laura
