What started as a side project is now a genuine passion project built around a full-time job and real life.\r\n\r\nRoma brings a structured, professional background in project management to her content creation, applying that rigour to building long-term relationships with DMOs and travel PR contacts rather than chasing one-off collaborations. Conversations with partners stay meaningful and on brand.\r\n\r\nHer approach to travel is just as deliberate. She loves a good road trip, with a soft spot for second cities and lesser-visited spots over the obvious capital. She returns often to places she loves, while adding something new each year.\r\n\r\nLife is short, so do what you love. Hate the opera, or nightclubbing until 5am? Don&#039;t go. Do something exciting instead, or eat at that dreamy restaurant you&#039;ve been wanting to try. Travel isn&#039;t about ticking off landmarks. It&#039;s about food, flavour, and finding experiences that bring real joy, even on a short trip.\r\n\r\nThat same philosophy runs through how she works. Roma is ruthless about time management, has streamlined her processes so content doesn&#039;t eat every spare evening and weekend, and has learned to tune out an industry that pushes creators to be everywhere, doing everything, all the time. She&#039;s picked her channels carefully and stayed in her lane.\r\n\r\nRoma speaks regularly on building a sustainable side hustle around a full-time job: practical systems, protecting time, and knowing when to do less, better.\r\n\r\nWhen she&#039;s not juggling content and her day job, Roma is usually planning the next short break, researching food spots, and figuring out what to skip.\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-headshot=\"https:\/\/www.traverse-connect.com\/images\/event-speakers\/speaker_1_fc7e64d2eaa446cd.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-focal-y=\"48\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-expertise=\"[]\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-sessions=\"[&quot;Sat 17 Oct, 10:00 - Build Your Side Hustle System: A Hands-On Workshop&quot;]\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-social=\"[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;website&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/roamingrequired.com&quot;,&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Website&quot;,&quot;icon&quot;:&quot;ti ti-world&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;instagram&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/roamingrequired&quot;,&quot;label&quot;:&quot;Instagram&quot;,&quot;icon&quot;:&quot;ti ti-brand-instagram&quot;}]\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"event-page-speaker-card__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.traverse-connect.com\/images\/event-speakers\/speaker_1_fc7e64d2eaa446cd.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t alt=\"Roma Small\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t class=\"event-page-speaker-card__photo\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t style=\"object-position: center 48%;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t loading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t decoding=\"async\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"event-page-speaker-card__caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"event-page-speaker-card__name\">Roma Small<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"event-page-speaker-card__talk\">Workshop: Build Your Side Hustle System: A Hands-On Workshop<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"event-page-speaker-card__role\">Content Creator<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"event-page-speaker-card event-page-speaker-card--confirmed event-page-speaker-card--clickable event-page-speaker-card__trigger\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-id=\"11\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-name=\"Laura Edwards\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-talk=\"TikTok advanced - Development &amp; SEO\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-role=\"Presenter, Comedian, Content Creator\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-speaker-bio=\"Laura is a comedian, presenter and content creator who has worked with many companies including BBC Comedy, Comedy Central, BBC3, EA, Disney, Radio 1 and Hat Trick Productions.
