About

A citizen of the world. Bringing golden Cali vibes wherever I go, looking for the next thrill around every corner. Thrives in the tropics.

Home airports

SFO is my homebase for now, but LAX is my second home.

My travel style

No way but all-the-way! I like to get fully immersed into the culture and discover local hidden gems. I look for a balanced mix of right outside the comfort zone followed by a cozy bed at the end of the day. Think of me as your travel-savvy bestie and ask me anything!

One thing I can't travel without...

My snack bag, noise-canceling headphones and my security neck pillow.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I joined a Peruvian protest to enter Machu Picchu. 

  2. I was in the Winter Olympics for snowboarding. 

  3. I've checked in luggage with nothing but food packed in it.
