About Laura (Editor-in-Chief)

Laura is a distinguished first-class honours journalism graduate whose passion for travel and in-depth knowledge of American Samoa and the South Pacific tourism spans over a decade. As a seasoned travel journalist, she brings a wealth of expertise to our American Samoa Pocket Guide.

Furthermore, Laura has personally tried, tested and/or conducted site visits to more than 200 activities, accommodations and eateries in the region.

In addition to her role as co-founder of the American Samoa Pocket Guide, Laura serves as the editor-in-chief for nine other South Pacific Pocket Guide publications, so let's just say she knows a thing or two about the region.

Her origins in the UK give her the unique perspective of knowing what tips are essential to travellers. On the other hand, Laura has a deep-rooted connection to the South Pacific, where she has resided for more than a decade.
