I had the pleasure of talking to Lola about her life and career up to the present day.
Lola is internationally recognised for her work and has won numerous awards. Some of her work has been featured in the likes of CNN Travel, National Geographic Traveller, and BBC Travel.
We spoke about how it all started for her in the industry. Lola told me that she moved to Maryland, USA, and started her education there and then eventually moved across to Europe and settling up in Sweden. She started her career as a field journalist at Eco-Challenge and then years later, she decided to pursue her love for photography and go full time as an entrepreneur.
Lola and I spoke about her work, including some projects that she has ongoing. We also spoke about the one work that got her noticed, which was a photograph of a husky she took for the National Geographic Traveller.
As an established author, we spoke about some of her published books. She recommended one to pick up if you haven't read any of her books before.
She spoke to me about how she went about launching a new academy recently. She hopes the academy will inspire a new generation.
We also spoke about her family life being married with 2 kids. She told me how she balances her work being a mother.
There are some other new projects on the cards and she will continue to work on her photography.
It was a real pleasure talking to Lola. Her passion and commitment are inspiring. I learnt a lot just talking to her and have instilled some of her sage advice she gave me into my work. I look forward to seeing where Lola goes next in her entrepreneurial life.
