Meet Lauren

Hi and welcome! I’m Lauren, engineer slash travel content creator, along with my other half, Jason. I hope to stir inspiration within other 9-5’ers to capture the world with their own lens while balancing a healthy lifestyle, in body, mind and soul. Feel free to contact me at lauren@laurenslighthouse.com or read more!

One thing I’ve had to learn when Jason and I started taking our content more seriously, is to take joy in being in the cold.

Visiting l’Arc de Triomphe this time was a little bit different than the last as it was in the process of becoming an art installation, being wrapped for the first time in history.

What’s your favourite childhood memory?

Absolutely gorgeous sunrise at Esplanade du Trocadéro 😍

At last! We made it to our first international destination in forever: Paris! 🇫🇷 This is Jason’s first time in Europe and why not start off our European journey with my favourite city?

Today is such a bittersweet day 🥲

Have you flown yet or booked a flight since the pandemic?

Our trip to Edmonton with @exploreedmonton was everything we hoped it would be! It was a blast seeing our province’s capital city in a new light by being tourists in Edmonton for the first time. There were tons of moments where @jasonmengvisuals and I went, “woah! Edmonton had this? We had no idea!” [ad]

I’ve always had gratitude for being born, raised and still living in a free country, but this week has definitely made that feeling throb even more. Especially as a woman.

One thing I’ve had to learn when Jason and I started taking our content more seriously, is to take joy in being in the cold. My body doesn’t take well to the cold at all despite doing a winter sport all my life. But when Jason and I spend hours on end in the rain, wind and snow, I have no choice but to adapt. It’s now at a point where I can take an ice bath without jumping right out! (If you missed my Iceland Sky Lagoon stories, I’ll be saving them in my highlight 😉) Do you prefer the cold or heat? 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Visiting l’Arc de Triomphe this time was a little bit different than the last as it was in the process of becoming an art installation, being wrapped for the first time in history. Artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude had dreamed of this day for decades and were known to wrap iconic monuments, bridges and even islands across the world. Though he passed away last year, Christo’s legacy lives on as l’Arc de Triomphe dresses herself in silver for everyone to see. What’s one thing you’ve seen in a rare (or one time only) occurrence that you may never see again? 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

What’s your favourite childhood memory? I don’t know if I can truly pick just one, but I remember so clearly the summer days at my great-aunt and great-uncle’s country house in Juvisy-sur-Orge where I would pick vanilla flowers in the unfenced backyard that met the forest, feed the fish in the pond and watch French movies all night eating shrimp crackers. I remember even the scents of each piece of that memory. I also remember my mamie asking me every 12 seconds if I were hungry 😂 Though I never got to meet my grandparents, I’m glad I had the experience of “spending summers at grandma’s”! What’s a childhood memory you like to look back on? 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Absolutely gorgeous sunrise at Esplanade du Trocad

Absolutely gorgeous sunrise at Esplanade du Trocadéro 😍 We didn’t want to leave this place when the colours in the sky only got better and the birds kept flying across our frame of sight! 🌆 The esplanade is definitely more charming in the morning than at night, with no crowds to worry about or people trying to sell you trinkets. Paris is by no means the cleanest city, but times like this at landmarks like this will overcome any drawbacks you meet during your visit. 🇫🇷 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

At last! We made it to our first international destination in forever: Paris! 🇫🇷 This is Jason’s first time in Europe and why not start off our European journey with my favourite city? We were thankfully not the least bit jet-lagged as we barely slept on the flight here. And we managed to hit a ton of major spots while walking 10-15 km each day and using our Navigo unlimited metro passes. But there’s still so much of Paris that we haven’t yet seen and hope to be back again some day soon! 🤞🏻 I wanted to start my Paris series with Sacré-Cœur, not only because of the basilica’s beauty, but because of my many memories as a kid climbing the steps to marvel at the view of Paris. Montmartre has so much of the old school charm of Paris and was definitely one of our favourite neighbourhoods in the city! I hope you enjoy the rest of this city series before we show off our next Europe destination! 🛫 #hello_france #secretsdeparis #super_france #visitparis #visitfrance #wanderlustparis #pariscityworld #parisjetadore #parismontmartre #visualwanderlust #meettheworld #nomadict #visualambassadors #canonr5 #worldtravelscapes #darlingescapes #femaletravel #girlsabroad #girlsvsglobe #globelletravels #nomadgirls #sheisnotlost #ladiesgoneglobal #prettycityparis #prettycity #prettylittletrips #womentravel #travelgirldiary #travelon

Today is such a bittersweet day 🥲
After a great four years, it’s time for me to turn the page to the next chapter in my life and say goodbye to my corporate job as a mechanical designer! If you told me a few years ago that I’d be quitting my cushy career at 26, I wouldn’t have believed you. But here I am, working my very last day in the office and saying goodbye to my awesome coworkers. I’m excited to see where this road takes us and am here for it all - the ups and downs, the early mornings and late nights, the uncertainty of what’s next and the excitement for what’s to come. Thank you guys, for being a part of this great journey and helping me realize something I’ve been dreaming about forever! ✌🏻I wouldn’t be here without you! 📸 @jasonmengvisuals .

Have you flown yet or booked a flight since the pandemic? In just 5 short days, we’ll be getting on our first flight since March 2020! 😍 There’s that silver lining 🌥☺️ We’ve been home bodies the last month as we prepare for a big new chapter in just a couple of weeks, and with the mountains being hazy, we didn’t have much reason to head out there. And even though we’ll be away from our home in the Rockies for a while, we’re excited to see some new places and take on this new adventure in our lives! I’m excited to reveal to you what’s happening in just two weeks! It’s daunting yet so exciting! 😭💗 📸 @jasonmengvisuals

Our trip to Edmonton with @exploreedmonton was everything we hoped it would be! It was a blast seeing our province’s capital city in a new light by being tourists in Edmonton for the first time. There were tons of moments where @jasonmengvisuals and I went, “woah! Edmonton had this? We had no idea!” [ad] One of my favourite moments was sunset over the skyline at River Valley Overlook that we came back to the spot again. Taking our electric scooters from @yegscoot gave us the opportunity to see much of downtown Edmonton, Old Strathcona, Whyte Ave and more via its many bike paths and long bridges! We finally made it out to Elk Island National Park, one of our bucket list destinations, and caught the most crisp sunset over Astotin Lake. Since we didn’t see any bison this time, we’re definitely coming back again soon! 🦬 We also got to dress up for a fancy picnic 🧺 in one the greatest gardens 🪴 I’ve ever been in at @uabotanicgarden, and for a glamorous private dinner by local chefs in a very impressive geodome made by @geoscapes_events! ✨ Our home base while in Edmonton at @matrixhotel could not be beat. The Platinum Suite on the top floor gave us the perfect place to relax and work in between our activities, and its central location made it so easy for us to get around, meet with friends, and have a crazy city view from our window. Did I mention they also have a complimentary executive buffet breakfast in their lounge? Thank you to @exploreedmonton for having us for a stellar four days. We cannot wait to be back for more adventuring! 💛 📸 @jasonmengvisuals .
