Calling Leicester in England home, Laurie spent years exploring the world trying to find his dream home and girl, and was lucky enough to find them both four years ago, here in Niseko. Initially working as a private ski instructor he has transferred his communication and language skills from the hill to the office, starting full time at MnK in the summer of 2015. Niseko is a place he feels he can indulge in his passions; outdoor sports, food and photography.
