About

Hi!

My name is Laura, I'm 25 years old and I'm based in Amsterdam. I live with my boyfriend Kimmy in Westerpark and I just love that place! I've been working as a fashion model since 2010 and since then I've been traveling regularly. Although there really is no place like home, I feel very privileged to be able to see so many beautiful places in the world. Modeling is often depicted by (social) media as a jetset life, first class flights, private drivers, five-star hotels, tons of money, free clothing... (at least, that is when your name is not Doutzen Kroes or Gisele Bündchen). Unfortunately, the opposite is true. Us, 'normal' models are mostly traveling by public transport, fly Economy class, live in dirty old model apartments sharing a room with numerous roomies and working long days in order to make a living. With this blog I take you with me in my daily life as a fashion model; my day to day life, the way it really is. I write about castings, jobs, sports, the most beautiful places and the coolest hotspots - of course accompanied by photos. No nonsense, no distortion: the real deal.

Next to writing I love to cook (and to be honest I love eating it even more). As a part of my healthy lifestyle I'll share some of my favorite recipes and useful tips on nutrition. Also, I'll write about models, new trends, cute stores and more that involves fashion. 

With love,
Laura.
