Laura Chung is a travel expert. She followed the traditional path by getting her masters, working in finance and living in a beautiful apartment in Manhattan. She didn’t understand why she wasn’t happy. In 2017, she quit her job, sold all of her belongings, got rid of her apartment and bought a one-way ticket to Asia. She knew one thing for sure, she loved to travel and she had a passion for sharing through her travel blog, Kumi Dreams. During her travels, she met incredible women (wild hearts) who built their dream businesses and doing what they loved. She wanted to share these women’s stories with everyone because she knew that it would inspire more women to do the same. Her podcast Chase Wild Hearts launched August of 2018. During the same time, she realized her greater purpose in life was to teach women spiritual tools to awaken their inner power to guide them in living their dream lives. Laura is now a reiki practitioner and spiritual coach who teaches meditation and Kundalini Yoga at retreats and online courses.
Laura shares that even though she had everything in life such as a good job, a fancy apartment, the perfect boyfriend and more, she realize this wasn’t it and it made her unhappy. From the moment, she decided to go on a journey to live her dream life and do what makes her truly happy.
