About
I'm an award-winning travel journalist and entrepreneur who lets my love for food, culture and human connection guide me around the world.

Travel style
I'm a Baltimore-native and former Londoner who has spent the past seven years seeing the world. I founded a travel company, Buoyant, that helps connect Black travelers with all things cool across the diaspora. My trips prioritize supporting Black-owned businesses worldwide. I'm a former hosteler turned boutique hotel lover who can spot a great lobby bar a mile away. Food and drink go hand-in-hand with traveling for me, so finding the best restaurants, food trucks and street food in a destination is my thing.
