Philosophy:
To give voice to the unsaid; to alter the mind, manipulate the imagination, and inspire through the simple art of exposition.
Born in California, died in NYC, claimed by the world.
I’ve spent the last 15 years weaving through continents, Asia, Europe, the U.K., & South America, chasing stories through lantern-lit alleys, mist-laced coastlines, & cities where the past hums like the chimes of an old clock tower. Brazil is home, for now, where I teach English by day &
chase words by night.
I have an insatiable love for creative storytelling, cheap street food,
temples etched in jade, & the company of expats with steady jobs yet untamed souls. My writing thrives in places where cultures collide, languages blur, & adventure lingers past the next border crossing.
​
For now, I’m earning a PhD until I can once again write, wander & lose myself in the rhythm of unfamiliar places; after all, the world is far too vast to stand still for long.

"Christina Lauren has a jeweler's eye for detail and writes with a passion that cannot be taught. It was my great pleasure to work with her and see her talents grow as she assisted me in editing transcripts of the 2018 World Economic Forum. I have read quite a bit of her writing and it speaks to the heart. She is a rare talent in her ability to feel the plight of a homeless man struggling to survive or the waitress working two jobs to support her family. As a former copy editor at The Washington Post, I would say think another Anne Hull, who just needs more opportunities and experiences. She shines."
