Lauritzen was born in 1971 in Denmark, to a Japanese mother and a Danish father. Her father had been a sailor for Maersk Line, but gave up that career when Lauritzen and his daughters were born. His stories inspired Lauritzen to pursue a maritime based career.[1] She attended a navigation school in Fanø, Denmark.[2]
