Author: Lauren Goldstein

Born in Toronto and raised in Silicon Valley, Lauren took her first plane trip at the age of one month and hasn’t been able to stay in one place since. After completing a BA in European Studies from UCLA, she moved to Lyon, France to work as an English teacher. Then it was on to New York to see what awaited her there. After a year working in legal services, she decided to split town to get her MA in History. To do so, she returned to Budapest, a city she had fallen in love with while spending her junior year abroad there. Now she is back in the San Francisco Bay Area rediscovering the delights that come with life in California. Throughout the back and forth between Europe and the U.S., Lauren has spent much of her time traveling. From Egypt and Italy to China and Serbia, she has visited over 20 different countries and isn’t about to stop now. Her passion for food, art and literature is fueled by the new experiences she has along the way.
