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!
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.
