If you’ve ever scrolled through TikTok or Instagram for some workplace humour, you’ve probably come across your virtual work bestie, Laura ‘Toodaloo’ Whaley – and right now, she’s closer than you think!

The popular Canadian content creator recently shared a few stunning snaps exploring the island, posing in the narrow streets of Mdina and admiring Valletta’s colourful traditional balconies. Safe to say, she fits right in with Malta’s picture-perfect vibes!

Laura, who’s best known for her hilarious and oh-so-relatable videos about remote work, boundaries, and office culture, first rose to online fame in 2020. Like many of us, she found herself suddenly working from home, and used that experience to create content that captured the funny (and sometimes awkward) realities of modern work life.

Fast forward a few years, and Laura’s community has grown to over six million followers across her platforms. Her approachable advice, witty ‘professional translations’, and candid takes on work-life balance have turned her into a go-to source of motivation, and a corporate comfort zone for millions around the world.

Beyond her social media presence, Laura has built her own business, partnering with brands and companies to explore the evolving world of work and creativity. Her videos often touch on leadership, communication, and boundary-setting, but also branch into travel, fashion, and those everyday moments that make us all go, ‘same!’

Could she just be taking a break in the sun, or is she cooking up something with Malta’s locals?

Toodaloo from Malta, Laura!
