Home airports

ORD, LAX and YVR – in true nomad style.

My travel style

For most of the past decade, I lived in hotels, spending 340 nights a year in the best and newest hotels and resorts around the world. I have up-to-date insider tips and intel for luxury travelers, foodies and honeymooning couples. I'm the kind of traveler who will book a restaurant reservation before I book flights or a hotel, and enjoy the right balance of fine dining and street food. Champagne, dark chocolate and gelato are my greatest weaknesses.
