Profile details
About
A warm and curious soul born in Panama to Salvi and American Parents. Raised in Europe, and now lives in the South with family, an affinity for sweet tea and singing cicadas with an acquired southern drawl.
Travel style
You can know a place by the people that live and love there. I long to experience the local culture and atmosphere of the places I visit. To see the uniqueness of the art, romance, history and biodiversity of all the pin-drops on our planet. I also know that "Rest is Best" and a vacation should be a balance of much-needed respite, as well as an enjoyment of all to see. We all have our unique needs, as well, and I love to make sure all feel like their needs are met and are included.
