I’m chatting this week to Lauren who set up one of the first alcohol-free travel companies in the UK which is called welovelucid.com
In this episode:-
- Lauren grew up in Northern Ireland, discovering alcohol in her teens and quickly evolving from social drinking to chaotic weekends and blackouts.
- She travelled to South America where her heavy drinking continued and she began adding in cocaine
- Moving to South Korea she struggled to find recreational drugs so the drinking ramped up further – resulting in 3-day benders and blackouts
- She even managed to ignore a broken ankle until she spotted a large purple swelling when she removed her boot
- It was a health scare that acted as her wake up call - suspected pancreatitis was causing her pain and her mom advised her to quit drinking
- As her mom was a nurse Lauren took this advice seriously and had her first alcohol free weekend
- This weekend was a bit of a revalation as she realized that sobriety could actually be enjoyable!
- However navigating sobriety in a heavy drinking culture like South Korea was hard for but she pushed through
- Lauren spoke of the importance of self-development, hobbies, and staying active in recovery.
- These days she has reconnected with her creativity and loves to write and make films
- She’s also discovered the joy of building meaningful connections through her sober travel experiences.
- Lauren decided to set up a company specialising in alcohol-free travel experiences.
- Its called welovelucid.com
- She mentioned one of her early trips which involved moonlight kayaking and encouraged people to step out of their comfort zone
- She is busy designing trips that foster connection, confidence, and adventure.
- Lauren's next project is the Beer to Soberton bike ride: a unique event to promote the sober lifestyle.
- Find out more about Lauren and her fabulous tours by going to welovelucid.com
