About
Always finding the best "bang for my buck." Balancing time between North Carolina and California, I'm constantly researching LGBTQIA+, pet-friendly and high-end travel for a reasonable price tag.
Home airports
AVL when I can find a good deal. CLT for better options.
My travel style
I've had the opportunity to travel to over 30 countries and have learned a lot. From solo backpacking in hostels through Southeast Asia to luxury accommodations for groups in Vienna, Austria, I've always prioritized experiencing new places and cultures while keeping cost in mind. I now typically travel with my partner and sometimes my dog. You can find me looking for good food, unique experiences and safe destinations for my LGBTQIA+ community.

Two truths, one lie:
I managed to survive a week in Cambodia with no wallet or money.
My dog has been to more countries than I have.
I bought a burger and beer in Iceland that was $50 (which was an average cost).
