Curators Corner

Hi, I’m Laurie.

I consider myself an adventuring spirit—not a live-in-my-van adventurer, but definitely a weekend road warrior. I’m all about beach days and wine tasting, camping in the woods, or heading to the Cascade Lakes for paddle boarding.

Now that I’m married, I spend a lot of my free time planning our next trip. It’s truly a hobby—I'm a Type A planner, so it comes naturally. I usually set a goal to plan a few trips each year. We love traveling with friends on our annual camping trips, paddle boarding, and or camping under the stars. I love mixing camping with going into town for an ice cream, coffee and or lunch. I also enjoy relaxing weekend getaways, dinner, hotel and site seeing, sweet treats/ glass of wine. Some of our fondest memories are waking up somewhere new before dawn to watch the sunrise.

As my friend group grows and our families expand, I’ve found myself curating trips for girlfriends, family members, and kids—each with different needs, timelines, activity levels, and preferences. I love discovering new places and finding creative ways to make the trip happen.

Corners and Cobblestones was born from my love of travel and has grown into a true passion project. My hope is that it inspires your family to travel, reconnect with friends, and explore new places. I wanted to make travel easier for like-minded families who want to explore a destination, map a path, and get out and go.

I hope it inspires you to see somewhere new, eat great food, and enjoy life.
Soak it in—slowly, gleefully—and create new memories for you and yours.
