Travel style

I'm big on staying organized — I've got my itinerary down to a T so I can hit all the hotspots and not miss a beat. But it's not just about checking off boxes for me; it’s so important to really get to know the heart and soul of a place. That means taking time to kick back, mingle with the locals, absorb the culture and find those local gems that truly make a place special. And you can’t truly know a place if you haven’t eaten your way through it! I'm all about diving headfirst into the local culinary scene. From street food to fine dining, I'm on a mission to taste it all! When it comes to spending, I like to keep things balanced between sticking to a budget and splurging on those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that you simply can’t pass up. It’s all about living my best travel life, one delicious bite and once incredible adventure at a time!
