Laura Loguercio

Freelance journalist from Milan, I’ve lived in Auckland, New York and London. After obtaining degrees in Philosophy and then Communications, I’m currently studying Journalism at New York University. I write about politics, human rights and gender equality, to remind myself that there’s a lot to be said, but that many good things remain in the world.

Favourite quote: “There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.” (Jack Kerouac)
