About Me
Lauren brings over a decade of community building and digital marketing experience in the travel and hospitality industry to Arival. She began her career at AFAR Media, where she launched the magazine’s first online community, ambassador and local expert programs.
In 2010, she founded San Francisco’s Travel Massive, a monthly industry networking meetup series, and co-organized their events in New York City and Portland, Oregon respectively over 10 years. She now lives on her dream property in Sandy, Oregon with her partner and dog, where she hosts campers and digital nomads, as well as camping events, during the summer season.
Lauren is so excited to be back in the heart of the tourism world. Her passion for travel, community, and shared experiences makes Arival the perfect place for her to land.
