Travel style
I like to blur the line between boutique and luxury. Finding unique properties and experiences that fit into the local environment but have higher-end amenities and dining.
I love all aspects of travel and seek out new experiences in every situation, whether I'm flying a new airline, taking a scenic train, in a UNESCO hotel property, eating at a Michelin-Starred restaurant or sipping local wine. Feel free to ask me about any part of your journey!

Thomas made several suggestions for hotels and then efficiently booked this one, which I chose. He provided a great deal for us, including a room upgrade, a hotel credit, free breakfasts and a super bonus of third night free, which brought down the cost considerably.
