- The Life of Lauren
I was born and raised in New Jersey. I've had a passion for traveling my entire life. My aunt has had a huge influence on me and I hope to travel the world like her and immerse myself in other cultures and learn from other people that I interact with. I consider myself extremely outgoing and always looking for new opportunities to meet people. I love to work out and taking spin classes is my favorite. I can speak Spanish and I think it's beautiful- I hope to learn more languages throughout my life and be able to converse with others and break cultural boundaries while traveling. In my spare time, I like to scrapbook, cook, go shopping, go for a run, or simply spend time with family, friends, and my boyfriend.
