Current Rock of Residence:
Cayman Islands
Island Girl Since:
2017
Originally Hails From:
Maidenhead, England
Laura is a recent graduate of the University of York, where she studied music. She decided to move to a rock because the English weather was far too depressing for her liking – especially in York. Where it rains. All. The. Time.
She moved to the Caribbean on a job prospect, quite out of the blue, and although she hasn’t been here long, she definitely doesn’t regret her decision one small bit!
Laura spends her days teaching music to children in schools across the island and when she’s not at work, she enjoys eating peanut butter out of the tub, drinking gin and tonics, and having a good old boogey on the dance floor. She is also partial to a rice cake (or ten).
Despite being described as “the palest girl anyone has ever seen,” Laura is taking on the challenge of the Caribbean sun to potentially come back to more of a biscuit-colour than Casper the Friendly Ghost shade. (Miracles can happen, right?) She has 2 years. We can live in hope.
For more on Laura, you can follow her island blog or check out her island ride on Instagram.
