Travel style
The beauty of travel is in discovering context. To gain a sense of a place, I like to mix adventures (dips in volcanic mud pools and helo rides to glaciers) with quiet studies (insider tours and dinners with locals). Time to reflect is key. I enjoy hotels that blend intriguing design, well-considered amenities and impeccable customer service into an atmosphere that is both comforting and inspiring. As your travel advisor, I am your partner in connecting with locals, savoring little-known treasures and getting behind the postcard.
