My Story
I’m the kind of traveler who’s just as happy paragliding over the mountains in Colombia as I am solo-navigating the coast of Portugal or chasing the midnight sun in the Lofoten Islands. I love finding those one-of-a-kind experiences that stay with you, whether that looks like a rugged mountain trek or a perfectly curated boutique stay. Because I live with Celiac disease, I’ve also spent years mastering the logistics of safe travel across five countries and counting. I’ve learned exactly how to find the hidden gluten-free gems and ask the right questions at restaurants to make sure you get exactly what you need. I’d love to help you take the guesswork out of your next getaway so you can just show up and enjoy the adventure.
Travel Style
I love to go off the beaten path and really get a taste of the culture I’m in, whether that’s getting lost in the souks of Marrakech or staying on a remote farm in the East Fjords of Iceland. To me, the best travel is about the hidden gems and local norms, like joining the crowd on the Dom Luís I Bridge in Porto to watch the sunset or trekking through the Thai mountains and singing songs around the fire with the guides. I’m always chasing those one-of-a-kind experiences where I can slow down, wander, and actually learn from the people and places I’m visiting.
