Laura Parini

Program Consultant

Laura grew up surrounded by the luscious, velvety rolling hills of southern Gippsland. Since then she has travelled the world extensively, having experienced four continents and visited Europe a grand total of twenty-six times. She has hiked the Inca trail, fought off tarantulas and anacondas in the Amazon jungle and volunteered at a Thai elephant orphanage and hot-air-ballooned in Cappadocia. She is proud of her Italian heritage: a fluent Italian speaker, she spent two years as a nanny in Rome.

Laura has over twenty-five years’ experience in the travel industry, and with passions as varied as photography, fashion, soccer, the performing arts and of course travel, she is keen to share her vast wealth of knowledge with future students for life changing travel experiences.
