1. ____________________________________
My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath. Until a few years ago I was a chef, and a happy one at that, but I wanted more out of life. I wanted to TRAVEL. At that time I discovered blogging and found that I took pretty good pictures. So I decided to post pictures on my blog. In less than 18 months, there were over 200,000 people reading my blog! At first, I only regarded it as a hobby, but companies started paying me to take photos and publish them. In 2013, I was determined to make my dream come true: I would become Australia’s first professional photo blogger. It was a challenging job, but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online. I’ve got to know more about this country and its people.

c Who are you and what do you do
Read and write
2. _____________________________________
I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013. I fell in love with northern WA and have been back six times. Some of my favourite photographs were taken there. I have made over 140 work trips, but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
3. _____________________________________
_______________________________________
It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region, in particular, is unique and untouched. As a photographer, I love the bright light and amazing colours: red rocks, green plants, blue-green waters and blue skies.
a What do you love most about Western Australia
b What is your connection to Western Australia
4. ______________________________ ________________________________
To work full time in travel, you have to love nature. I try to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world. I love to photograph the rising sun, so I force myself into the natural world by waking early each day. I also enjoy photographing animals, such as dolphins and kangaroos.
e How does your love of nature influence your photography
5. ___________________________________ _____________________________________
I hope so. I use my photography to make an impact on people, especially when it comes to environmental issues. Today I’ve been photographing a crocodile swimming close to our boat, the Kimberley Quest, all day. When I post the picture online, I will make a comment about how bad it is to feed wild crocodiles. This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans. Over time, this could make her a danger to people living in the area. If I can do something to make others aware of the problem, then that’s part of the solution.

There are some risks in moving from a comfortable job to a challenging one. What do you think of Lauren’s choice
Life is a challenging process. If Lauren wants to be better she should step out of her comfort zone and continue pursuing her greater dream. The same is true for everyone. We should be “on the road” all the time, not only for travel but also for life.
Post-reading: critical thinking
On the road
Life is a journey, keep going. Never stop your steps and your life is on the road to a bright future
Along the way of both travel and life there is more beautiful scenery, more interesting things, more challenges and more harvest.
To life
For travel
The point of travelling is not just to reach a destination, but to be on the road all the time
