Description

Hola, I’m Lara :)
I’m a curious, deeply feeling human who loves deep conversations, creating things (food, spaces, art etc.), being in nature, and experiencing life in a way that feels meaningful (a continuous discovery).

I am originally from the Netherlands, and immigrated to Canada at age 5. Since then, I grew up in the Kootenays surrounded by mountains, forests, rivers and a strong sense of community, and I think that shaped a lot of who I am. I’m someone who feels most alive when I’m connected — to people, to nature, to myself, and to something that feels bigger than just the day-to-day.

My background is a bit of a mix. I’m a counsellor and have a background in nursing, but I’ve never felt particularly interested in living inside one box so it's been a journey to find my way with it. I've also owned and run a cleaning business and currently run a yard maintenance business with my travel buddy and best friend Jade. I’m drawn to the places where different worlds meet.. Healing and adventure, depth and play, slef-connection and community, structure and flow.

I love learning from people and being immersed in different ways of living. I’m interested in what makes a place feel like home, the stories people hold, the wisdom that exists outside of traditional systems, and the simple things that make life feel rich.

I’m also very hands-on and happy to get my hands dirty. I enjoy gardening, cooking, cleaning, caring for spaces, being outside, and helping bring an idea or project to life. I’m responsible and independent, but I also really value collaboration and being part of a team where everyone contributes.

I’m not necessarily looking to simply “travel.” I’m looking for experiences that allow me to slow down, connect, learn something new, contribute in a meaningful way, and meet people I might never otherwise have crossed paths with.

I’m drawn to authenticity, creativity, connection, nature, meaningful work, good music, laughter, and people who are willing to live a little outside the "norm".
