My travel style
I've traveled on a budget during my college days and now am more selective about the smaller, intimate boutique hotels I travel to. I like to do an adventure a day followed by time where I feel like I can truly relax – a nice cocktail in hand with the hardest question being: pool or beach? My goal is to make my clients feel at home in any destination they travel to. Traveling as a queer individual internationally, it is so important to me that both my girlfriend and I feel welcome and safe, so I want others to feel the same.
Favorite hotels
Recently returned from:
Riding horses, eating, relaxing in the jacuzzi and shopping at flea markets in Woodstock, NY.
Partying and poolside relaxing in South Beach, Miami.
Learning how to hold the dancer pose in a yoga studio on the beach of Tulum, Mexico.
Gazing at the stars while at the Griffith Observatory atop Los Angeles.
Dreaming of:
Bali.
Portofino and Bari, Italy.
Catching a glimpse of the Great Barrier Reef in Sydney, Australia.
Museum hopping in Washington, DC.
One thing I can't travel without...
My Nikon camera.
Two truths, one lie:
I once fell out of a gondola during a boat ride in Venice, Italy.
I've been to over 12 countries.
My dog has traveled with me before.
