My travel style

I'm a spelunker. I like going off-the-beaten-path and exploring the hidden gems and local favorites in a safe and accessible way. Nevertheless, as a lifelong hiker I'm also a fan of trekking, beautiful views and a great meal afterwards!

Favorite hotels

Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center

Contemporary property along the shores of the Potomac with refined rooms and suites.

Inn At Otter Crest

Beachfront condominium-style property set upon 35 acres with casual rooms and suites.

Marriott Marquis Washington, DC

Sleek conference property in DC's Shaw neighborhood with polished rooms and suites.

Recently returned from:

  • Exploring via classical architecture tours in Spain and Portugal. 

  • Hiking in the blistering cold in Rocky Mountain National Park. 

  • Enjoying autumn colors in Red River Gorge, Kentucky. 

  • Starfish diving and waterfall hunting in Bayahibe, Dominican Republic.

Dreaming of:

  • The Golden Temple (Sri Harmandir Sahib) in Amritsar, Punjab, India.

  • Zhangjiajie National Park in Hunan, China. 

  • Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, Chile. 

  • Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran.

One thing I can't travel without...

A mountain or skyline view.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. My high school was next to the CIA. 

  2. I have a weird gift of being able to copy handwriting. 

  3. I own a rare breed of dog, the Chinook (~800 left in the world)!
