About Lauralei Feathstone
Lauralei lives in Thailand and has been a travel writer since 2016 alongside her career as a scuba diving instructor. She's spent many years working around the world as a scuba instructor and dive center manager, having been predominantly based in Thailand, the Philippines, and Japan.

What destination has meant the most to you and why?
I lived and worked in Koh Phi Phi, Thailand, for three years as a scuba diving instructor on the islands, teaching diving every day and leading boat diving excursions.
Throughout those years, I met countless people from around the world, each with their own stories, backgrounds, and experiences, all while taking them on daily underwater adventures to witness the world's most fascinating creatures, from tropical fish and colorful reefs to turtles, sharks, and huge manta rays.
The Phi Phi Islands are also where I met my partner, with whom I ended up working as well; hence, this destination will always have a special place in my heart.
