About us

Books and Laurels is a project by Laura Corredor and Mia Ojeda.

Laura and Mia met during their undergraduate studies at Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá. They have been friends ever since, despite the distance and time that has separated them. They both love reading, traveling, and learning about new things.

🍂 About Laura

Laura studied science and she is a translator by trade. After a season in Australia, she came back to Colombia to keep her dog company. She has been taking up on the reading habit again, thanks to this blog. Laura listens some metal, rock, alternative music, k-pop and the like. She likes to travel and to know new cultures.

🌿 About Mia

Mia is an ML engineer and scientist based in Canada. She builds AI systems, and travels whenever she gets the chance. Her interests include books, vinyl, museums, and electronic music. She is usually curious about how things work. She's happiest waking up with a Colombian coffee every morning, reading in Spanish, having a French baguette in hand, and snacking on Argentinean empanadas and planning her next trip.
