Now here's a woman who isn't afraid to travel on her own. In fact, she's afraid for a long time of settling down and NOT travelling on her own.
We meet Laurie as she sets off from her home in Canada for yet another trip. She's on her way to California, a place where she feels she belongs and could settle.
