From a young age, Laura Mucha was fascinated by love, and for as long as she can remember, she questioned, interrogated and informally 'interviewed' virtually everyone she met about their relationships.

After gaining an MA in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of Edinburgh, Laura spent many years travelling to every continent in the world, speaking to hundreds of strangers from a wide variety of backgrounds, listening to their intimate stories and personal philosophies.

In addition to her exploration of romantic love with scientists, philosophers, artists and musicians, Laura is also an award-winning poet, performer and broadcaster, appearing at festivals, theatres, music venues, schools and on radio.
