Welcome to The Planet Edit

Hi, I’m Lauren!

If you’re into big adventures, you’re in the right place.

On The Planet Edit, I skip the glossy travel-brochure talk to give you honest guides, helpful logistics, and the occasional expedition diary to help you plan your next trip.

Everything on this site is based on my own experiences, from cycling across Europe, hiking in Kyrgyzstan, exploring some of Sri Lanka’s best wildlife reserves, and so much more.
