About
San Diego-based, part-time digital nomad working from a US time zone. When I’m not doing yoga or tending to my plants, I’m planning your next getaway! Travel is my art form.

Travel style
Former hostel backpacker, now four-star hotel adventurer. I believe that people can see the world in style without breaking the bank. My favorite trips include a healthy mix of restful down time, outdoor adventures and sightseeing… oh and mezcalitas!
