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 that tell you something about the island through their heritage, craftsmanship and interiors. I love staying long enough to notice those details, especially in places where young families feel welcome.
