Profile details

About

New cultures, people, languages, foods and challenges... all help me learn and grow as a person in the absolute best way possible.

Travel style

I've lived on four different continents in my life, working, studying and traveling my way through so many beautiful countries. I'm past my 'roughing it in hostels' days, but I still love getting right into the authentic food, culture and lifestyle of a particular locale. I do my homework and choose a few key 'must-do' items on a given trip, but I love to leave some flexibility for new and unexpected adventures. There is nothing better than helping others share the joy of experiencing amazing new places!

Aaron's reviews

Aaron was helpful and attentive from the start of my interactions with him. From helping to purchase train tickets to Bangkok from Hua Hin, to ensuring I got on the correct train, to helping me choose a great restaurant for dinner, I had confidence in my travel advisor from day 1. I am an extremely anxious international traveler. I felt at ease so I could enjoy my entire trip knowing Aaron was making plans and suggestions for me along the way. 5 stars!
