About
A tech-industry writer based in California with East Coast roots and an insatiable curiosity to explore the world and inspire others to do the same.
Travel style
From volunteering in South Africa and backpacking across Southeast Asia to now exploring the world with a touch more grandeur (although I still relish the occasional rugged adventure), travel has been ingrained in my DNA for as long as I can remember.
I infuse each trip I design with a blend of adventure and leisure — be it by the beach, amid mountain peaks or within vibrant cityscapes. I always strive to discover hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path places. My bread and butter is crafting itineraries that balance organized excursions with lots of time for impromptu plans or having no plans at all. My trips tend to be budget-savvy with a hint of luxury. I like to spend my travels immersing myself as a local and enjoying great food with my favorite people.
