About

Culture curator, adventurer and live music connoisseur. A forever Detroit-girl and professor who knows the best education occurs outside the classroom walls.

Travel style

I really love getting to meet local people of the places to which I travel. I grow from learning directly from them about the history and culture of their home. I travel best with a loosely structured itinerary that gives me time to explore what I discover while there. I'm an adventurer and must find the best zip-line of every destination. When "bae" or "my girls" can't go, I definitely will go "solo dolo". In fact, it's my preferred way to travel. I'm great at finding the most luxe hotels for a bargain and proudly "ball on a budget".
