Travel style
I'm a seasoned creative traveler. Creative in my business life, and leaning toward creative, photogenic and unusual in travel. My favorite travel experiences happened while I was immersed and actively engaging in my surroundings, rather than just walking from one store to the next, or taking an Uber from one location to the next. I favor local bars and restaurants and flea markets where there are opportunities to engage with locals. I make an effort to blend and NOT do what all of the other tourists are doing. If it's not generic or predictable then that's where I want to be.
