Meet Lauren

I’m Lauren Resnick, the founder of Princess with a Backpack. I’m a qualified architect who’s worked in London, New York and Sydney, and my travel writing has appeared in HuffPost, Thrive Global and CNBC.

Mallorca is home. I look for hotels with a sense of place, from their heritage and craftsmanship to the details that make their interiors feel distinct. For me, slow travel means staying a little longer, taking it all in and finding beautiful places where young families feel welcome.
