About

Brooklyn-based, bi-coastal life hopeful and favorite human to one pup.

Home airports

JFK for almost everything, but EWR if flying United.

My travel style

I often base my whole trip around a fantastic hotel. I believe hotels are the peacemakers of neighborhoods and can make or break your experience. I seek adventure and beauty in discovering new places, cultures and people. I solo travel, but am often tapped to plan a group trip for friends.
