Travel style
Curiosity and discovery define my travel style: I love to see "new" sights, meet native people, learn about their history, eat authentic food, experience local culture (art, architecture, music, festivals, etc.) and try things I haven't done before...
Even during business trips, I have turned them into opportunities to explore places and sample hotels/restaurants.
Lodging can be budget or luxury, but I must have a room with a view.
From big cities to remote Arctic villages, I will always find the best spots to eat and drink!
