About

A traveler who believes travel is good for the soul. To quote Anthony Bourdain, "travel is not reward for working, it's education for living."

Travel style

Travelers today are looking for more than checking off bucket list sites. My work centers around slow travel, encouraging people to connect with and experience local cultures, while rejuvenating the soul. With the help of a worldwide network, I design travel that highlights local experiences, sustainability, and mindful pacing.
