About

As a career attorney and C-level exec, I know from personal experience how quickly burnout can set in. My goal is to show even the busiest professionals that travel is not only possible, but necessary.

LAX for early morning. LAS for everything else.

My travel style

You can always find me on the road less traveled. Whether a narrow alley off the crowded streets of Istanbul or a secluded beach a swim away from a luxurious resort, I love finding the soul of a place, then sharing those rare gems with like-minded adventure seekers.

One thing I can't travel without...

My laptop comes along for every trip.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I traveled the world at a young age as a United Nations consultant.

  2. I met the late great Anthony Bourdain while he was filming his Lebanon episode, when suddenly, bombs were heard overhead and we all ended up in lockdown at the same hotel.

  3. I spent 12 hours detained by Israeli immigration during my first trip to Israel.
