Laura Whitmore: 'I'm not very good at sitting still... Like my mum, I feel like travelling is in our blood'

From road-tripping across America in a Mustang to cycling through Copenhagen and returning home, travel has long been woven into Laura Whitmore's life

Laura Whitmore: "My mother’s a traveller, I’m a bit of a traveller. I spend very little time in one place, even with work. I’m based in London, but I like going to different places."

Irish presenter Laura Whitmore's career, from television in her MTV days to far-flung adventures pre-pandemic, has been peripatetic. Based in London but proudly rooted in Wicklow, she describes herself as a traveller at heart, spending little time in one place and often discovering Irish connections wherever she goes. From road-tripping across America in a Mustang to cycling through Copenhagen and returning home, travel has long been woven into her life.
