About

I am a slow travel aficionada. I believe good trips and the human connections we form along the way make life a little bit sweeter, a whole lot meaningful.

Travel style

When I travel, I often like my experiences to mirror those of locals. I mostly enjoy creating gestures that make people build rapport and feel special while traveling. Besides that, my style is a mix of adventurous/jam-packed days and more laid-back time. Wasting time and resources on activities that are not right for you is out of the question. Book your travel through me for precious experiences, “un-Googleable” addresses and stories that add years onto your life.
