Travel style

I love to find the local culture, learn the language or at least a few new words and eat fresh and local food, drink wine and be active, whether it's by walking or swimming. Warmer weather destinations are my preferred spots. Hidden or secret gems and new hot spots are my thing at home in New Orleans. It's never over-the-top pricing, and I try to find things off the beaten path or lesser-known unique venues to highlight. I made it to Panama in 2024 and sent about a dozen folks around the world! My personal plan is to “cruise” the Panama Canal in 2025 as well as to join fellow-minded travelers on an Intrepid tour to Japan and to Colombia for 2025! And, before 2030 I'm also going to return to Mumbai and Delhi, for more sightseeing and shopping as well as Florence and Barcelona for the food and wine! Let me customize that trip for you!
