A woman left her 'dream' husband, house and career behind when she realised she was gay at 35 - and now travels the world and living out of a suitcase. Lauren Burgess, 37, thought she had the perfect life until she broke out in chronic hives, due to stress, and started having therapy which led her to realise she was a lesbian.
She had 'experimented' with women in her college years but thought it was 'just a bit of fun'. After seeing people on social media embracing different labels, she began to work out her sexuality.
In February 2021 she took the plunge and left her husband, Matt, 40, after four years of marriage to travel the West coast of America in a van with her dog, Ted, a Goldendoodle. Now she has expanded her travels to Europe exploring cities like Lisbon, London, Paris and Amsterdam - whilst embracing her sexuality.
