About

Culture lover who also seeks nature adventures. I am a Los Angeles native and currently reside in LA, but I was bred in NYC – 30+ years of traveling!

Home airports

LAX.

My travel style

Local with a bit of lux is my style! Immersing myself in the local culture of a place is why I travel. From the native people to the ethnic cuisines, to the history, art and architecture – I want to soak it all in! But don't get me wrong, I also believe in not packing too much into the agenda and leaving room for rest and spontaneity. I do love a good spa, five-star dining, a fish taco stand and cruising hidden beaches on a catamaran in the Sea of Cortez. Traveling is about having experiences that create unforgettable moments.

One thing I can't travel without...

Hand wipes.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I was once hit by a bus in Bangkok.

  2. I was pick-pocketed on the metro in Paris and the pick-pocket returned all of my items.

  3. I went to the ATM and found $3,000 cash that was left on the machine.
