I’m Laurian

The founder of Novella Travel. I’m a tourism and hospitality expert specializing in luxury, boutique and totally unique vacations worldwide.

Novella was born out of a desire to do what I do best. To uncover the hidden gems of a destination and gain true insight into the local culture. I do the research so you don’t have to.

After obtaining my business degree in tourism and hospitality management in Toronto, Canada, I proceeded to travel the world. I’ve worked in the hospitality industry in Canada, Finland, Ireland, and Australia, and have travelled to over 25 countries so far. When travelling, I believe that every experience, no matter how small, should be exceptional — from the first sip of coffee in the morning to the softness of the pillow you lay your head on at night. My passions for restaurants, boutique hotels, outdoor adventures, and active wellness combine to provide you with a one-of-a-kind holiday you will never forget.
