Profile details

About

Destination daydreamer and family CEO (chauffeur, entertainment concierge and organizer) for three boys and a dog. I love Chicago, live music, books, pasta, nature and feelings of discovery.

Travel style

I mix exploration and relaxation. I enjoy adventure travel, national parks and scuba / snorkeling, followed by relaxing in the hot tub or with a glass of wine. I usually take kids and / or friends along!
