Lauren Burnison’s journey from a tumultuous past to a serene present is a testament to the transformative power of change. Raised in Belfast during a turbulent period, she found solace in alcohol-fueled chaos during her younger years, venturing from Edinburgh to Buenos Aires seeking escape. However, a pivotal moment on New Year’s Eve 2002 marked a turning point, leading her to break free from the grip of addiction.
Fast forward to today, and Lauren’s life has taken a complete turnaround. Having embraced sobriety in 2016, she embarked on a life-changing global adventure that opened her eyes to a new perspective. Inspired by her travels to Ronda, Spain, she founded We Love Lucid, a pioneering UK-based company specializing in alcohol-free group trips.
We Love Lucid caters to sober solo travelers seeking meaningful connections and unforgettable experiences devoid of alcohol. Lauren’s personal journey has also influenced her family life, as she now enjoys enriching experiences with her daughter on extended road trips through Spain and Portugal.
The joy of outdoor living, exploring ancient ruins, and spontaneous beach trips are now the highlights of Lauren’s alcohol-free lifestyle. Free from the constraints of alcohol, she revels in the freedom to embrace new adventures and forge genuine connections with people she meets along the way.
Looking ahead, We Love Lucid’s future plans include exciting expeditions like a group climb up Mount Toubkal in Morocco and a women’s-only pilgrimage along the Portuguese Camino de Santiago. Lauren’s decade of sobriety serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring others to embrace a life filled with new possibilities and meaningful experiences.
