Profile details
About
When not wrangling three young kids or working as a pediatric nurse practitioner, I love hiking with friends, photography, wine and quenching my incessant wanderlust by researching and planning trips!
Travel style
I love a well-balanced trip that involves physical activity and adventure, rewarded by food, drinks and lounging. I also enjoy experiencing local cultures, sustainability and giving back, understated luxury in far off exotic places – knowing that reality of family and life often necessitates fun (closer) adventures too!
