Profile details
About
A side hustler with an affinity for dogs, writing, flying comfortably and hotel life. I adore Asian food, kindness, practicality, languages and KitKats.
Travel style
Long-term travel with companions. As a solo-traveler, I stay more in hostels. I have a great appreciation for shared experiences and modern conveniences – which I love hotels for – and living like a local in Airbnbs or VRBOs. City girl that tries to stay away from the sun and mosquitoes, yet the beautiful, moderate weather pulls her right back in. Admittedly not the planner, but I am the enabler.
