Boutique Travel, Beautifully Told
For the hotels worth staying in, the destinations worth discovering, and the brands worth telling the world about.
I’m Lauren — though most people call me Lo. I’m a travel writer, photographer, and the founder of laurenbelz.com, a boutique travel publication built on editorial storytelling, destination photography, and curated guides for the traveler who plans with intention.
Whether you’re a boutique or luxury hotel, tourism board, or a brand with a beautiful story to tell — I’d love to help tell it in a way that captures its heart and inspires others to experience its magic for themselves.

Hi, I’m Lauren!
A Little Bit About Me
I’m Lauren — Boutique Hotel Obsessive, Storyteller & Creative Concierge
I’m a multi-dimensional creative with over a decade of professional photography and content marketing experience behind me.
laurenbelz.com exists because I love travel, yes — but it’s built the way it is because I understand content, audiences, and the long game. Every post is written with an editorial, storytelling mindset, every image is shot with intention, and every partnership is approached thoughtfully, professionally, and with the reader — and your brand — always at the center.
What We Can Create Together
Let’s Tell Your Story.
A chance for Lauren to stay, to shoot, to experience and explore, and to tell your story to an audience of intentional travelers who are ready to book. Every editorial feature on laurenbelz.com is grounded in firsthand experience and includes authentic, real-time Instagram coverage.
Perfect for: boutique & luxury hotels, design-forward properties, hospitality brands, and tourism boards with a story worth telling on location.
Select destination guides on laurenbelz.com rank on page one and drive consistent booking traffic month after month. Featured placement within these existing, high-performing content puts your brand directly in front of readers who are already planning that exact trip — no waiting for a new post to gain traction.
Selective and editorially driven. Reach out to discuss availability and fit.
Beautiful, travel-inspired content created specifically for your brand — not my channels. On-location editorial photography and short-form video delivered in a fully licensed gallery, ready for use across your website, social media, and marketing campaigns.
Available as a standalone service or as part of a broader partnership package — no public posting required on my end.
Social-first, platform-native content for Instagram that feels intentional, not promotional. In-feed posts, Stories sequences, and short-form Reels — via @lobelz — with the same editorial eye as everything on laurenbelz.com.
The majority of my audience is based in the U.S., followed by Europe and the UK.
Have a story you want told beautifully on your channels, not mine? I’m available for commissioned travel writing for brands, hotels, and publications looking for original, high-quality content to call their own. Whether it’s a destination feature for your website, a hotel narrative for your magazine, or copy that captures the spirit of a place or product, I bring the same editorial standard to every brand.
No two collaborations look the same. Each partnership is thoughtfully scoped around your brand, your property, and the content that will resonate most with my audience. For tailored proposals, reach out directly at lauren@laurenbelz.com.
