Laura Waide. Born 16/3/93 - so, yea I’m 19. I’m currently living in Varese, Italy (about an hour north of Milan), where I’m working as an au pair for 6 months. I’m originally from NSW Australia, where I was studying a Bachelor of Primary Education at the University of Wollongong, which I am returning to next year. I have created a blog to document my time in italy (url - lauvarese) if you are at all interested haha.

I have 13 best friends - and consider myself extremely lucky to have so many. But of course there are two that stand out.. My Ranga Bec - We have been buddies for 9 years now. And Izzie (url - equil-ateral). The start to our relationship is a hilarious one. In short - We ended up in hospital together at a school ski trip. And she pretty much saved my life. So. I love her.

I originally joined Tumblr to keep me sane whilst bored at work but it has turned into so much more. So much passion, humour, inspiration and love is on here. It’s great.

I have an unhealthy obsession with cheesecake. I have a slight OCD… For eg I take steps in fours and can’t sleep unless my cupboard doors are lined up. Ha.

At the moment my playlist consists of:

Matt Corby (He is easily the most beautiful, inspirational person on the planet. Nothing else can make me feel the way his music does). 
Boy & Bear
Foster The People
The Maccabees
Husky
The Wombats
The Kooks
Angus & Julie Stone
The Black Keys
Broken Bells
Bon Iver
Cold War Kids

Gotye
Incubus
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Kimbra
Little Red
Modest Mouse
Seeker Lover Keeper
Sparkadia

That will do for now.
