About Laura
I am a New York City-based travel editor, having worked at Lonely Planet, ShermansTravel and The Points Guy for the last decade. Before that, I was an expat in Europe where I got sunburned on many French and Italian beaches and enjoyed macarons in a variety of flavors. I have held staff positions at Travelzoo, NBC Universal, and Everyday Health and counts Sardinia, Palm Springs, New Orleans, and Marseille among her favorite travel destinations. I hail from northeastern Massachusetts and am a graduate of Emerson College. Follow my travels on Instagram at @lauramariamotta.
