Travel style

When traveling, I'm always aiming for the perfect balance of sightseeing or touring with expert guides, and leaving space for a good wander-about on my own time. Finding authentic experiences where I can connect with locals is always part of my plan. At this point in life (50+), I love a luxury hotel and returning to a comfortable bed (and a spa?) in the evening even if my days have been spent sweating, swimming and generally enjoying the great outdoors. That said, I strive to find accommodations that offer 5* service and amenities without a pretentious attitude. When it comes to food, I love to experience a mix of street food, fine dining and chocolate, but always gluten free... I know this can be a challenge, but I can help you plan for this in any destination!
