About
Previously a digital nomad who fell in love with Bangkok, now calls Thailand his home. Extensively traveled in Southeast Asia, having lived in Bali, Singapore and Penang. At heart, a native of San Francisco!
Home airports
BKK Suvarnabhumi Bangkok for the long haul flights. DMK Don Mueang for regional adventures!
My travel style
I love finding hidden gems and places only locals know about. The journey, discovery process and human connections make traveling meaningful and rewarding. Definitely spend a day doing all the must-sees, but reserve the remaining time for experiences that you'll remember for a lifetime. The best memories are ones that are unique, that many travelers don't know about.
Favorite hotels
Recently returned from:
Coffee tasting in Medellín, Colombia.
Flying drones in Bali, Indonesia.
Eating at the hawker centres in Singapore.
Finding a great local whiskey bar in Tokyo.
Dreaming of:
Hiking the 88 temples in Shikoku, Japan.
Scuba diving in Raja Ampat, Indonesia.
Tea tasting in Sri Lanka.
Experiencing a 24-hour day in Northern Norway.
One thing I can't travel without...
An open and good attitude.
Two truths, one lie:
I was locked down in Singapore for three months at the onset of the pandemic.
I drove 2,500 miles in five days on a road trip in Norway.
I've been mistaken for a celebrity several times in Thailand.
