About
I’m a frequent traveler obsessed with researching what makes a destination unique. You’ll usually find me off the beaten path trying to find the most authentic local experiences (and food, of course!)

Travel style
My travel style combines experiencing a destination’s highlights and culture with plenty of time to explore the hidden gems — preferably with a local beverage while chatting with locals. I love to plan relaxed side trips from the larger cities to get a true feel for a country and what makes it special. As a frequent flyer, I’ve also become an expert packer — ask me how to pack a carry-on for a week in Europe!
