Profile details
About
Type-A planner whose appetite for travel is only rivaled by her love for her golden retriever, Kimchi. When not scoping out new restaurants, you can find this tech lover brainstorming new startup ideas over espresso martinis. A globetrotting, oenophile ball of positive energy who lives life to the fullest, one leopard print outfit at a time.
Travel style
I am a budget baller with champagne dreams on a beer budget, seeking out hole-in-the-wall eateries where the locals eat. Give me an aesthetically pleasing hotel with a lively lobby bar for impromptu nightcaps located in the middle of the action and I am guaranteed to charm the staff into an unexpected adventure. The hotel makes the experience for me. Something about the mid-day nap after sight-seeing, feeling clean, cozy and getting great pictures for the gram makes the trip. I take it very seriously that you only get a few meals on a trip, so don't waste 'em on subpar grub!
