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.
Home airports
ORD primarily, MDW when Southwest is best.
My 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!
Favorite hotels
Recently returned from:
Celebrating NYE in Mexico City with my husband and friends!
Snorkeling and waterfall swimming in Maui.
Riding everything at every Disney World park.
Relaxing on the beach at a Mexico all-inclusive.
Dreaming of:
Tanzania, then back to Chobe in Botswana.
Geeking out on evolution in the Galapagos Islands.
Surfing and ziplining in Costa Rica.
Seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland.
One thing I can't travel without...
A great playlist.
Two truths, one lie:
I swam with sharks, and a bleeding dive buddy, in the Great Barrier Reef.
We had an axolotl when it was still creepy. It was an albino named Pinky that had to be hand-fed.
I backpacked solo through Southeast Asia, when internet cafes were a necessary thing.
