Beach lover, wellness enthusiast, off the beaten path traveler. Passionately planning the next adventure. I love to immerse myself into the local culture, art and history of each destination.

Travel style
My love for travel started in my 20’s when my goal then was to travel to every beach in the world. I fell madly in love with simple huts on the beach, meeting the locals and white sands.
My travel changed with kids to family Ski trips at resorts in Utah, Oregon and California. Family-friendly Tropical Beach vacations and a lot of national parks and camping.
Now you can find me searching the globe for far away places, less touristy and more local charm. I love both slow and adventure travel. I am either watching the sunrise on an island in Indonesia, wandering a European city on foot searching for local hidden gems to shop and eat, or hiking with a guide in the jungle to visit ancient ruins. For me finding the perfect accommodations in either a boutique or luxe hotel is a must for a successful vacation.
I am also an experienced solo traveler and love to encourage women to try traveling alone.
