About

I am a wife and mom of two. I am a wanderer! I love exploring new places and experiencing new cultures. PA-based. My heart is in Maui. I love to travel with friends, family and solo.

Home airports

PHL for the birds.

My travel style

I like to travel with groups! Usually whichever of my sisters is willing to split expenses so we can get where we want to go, for the longest period of time. I pack light and move around a lot. I like to pick a few different areas and spend a few nights just enjoying one area at a time.
