About
Carmen Sandiego is my spirit animal. NYC-based dog mom, splitting time with my hometown of Austin, but my heart (and most of my travel money) is in Europe. Incapable of staying in one place for long.
Home airports
LGA preferred but usually JFK.
My travel style
I have a wide range in how I travel – from luxe boutique hotels in Paris to van camping around Iceland to solo beachfront getaways in Tulum. Wherever I go, I chase good design, unique experiences and location, location, location. I love a good balance of jam-packed activity followed by people watching at the neighborhood spot over a glass of wine
Favorite hotels
Recently returned from:
Taking a sunrise hot air balloon ride in Türkiye.
Practicing yoga, temazcal and sound baths in Tulum.
Ice climbing and chasing waterfalls across Iceland.
Stuffing myself with pasta, gelato and wine in Florence and Sardinia.
Dreaming of:
Hiking the ancient Angkor Wat temples of Cambodia.
Après-ski done right in Chamonix.
Trying all the tacos and mezcal in Mexico City.
Sailing around the Greek Isles.
One thing I can't travel without...
Peppermint essential oil stick for rejuvenating on travel days, dealing with headaches or motion sickness, avoiding bad smells – it's my best pick me up.
Two truths, one lie:
I've solo traveled in four countries.
I introduced the turndown service to a boutique hotel in Paris.
I missed my flight in Israel being questioned by immigration.
