About

Love fine hotels but am almost as happy at any airport property with a runway view. NYC-born, raised in Japan, living in Sweden with three kids.

Home airports

Stockholm ARN, which I wish was as nice as OSL (but it's still pretty good).

My travel style

On the road my main motivations are tasting food and seeing nature, ideally with a thoughtfully designed hotel thrown in. I'm drawn to remote spots (Greenland, Cape Verde) as much as the world's great capitals (Tokyo, Bogotá). In the end, what I'm after is a wide range of experiences.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I once rode a camel into the Sahara. 

  2. I took a helicopter to visit a ruby mine in Greenland. 

  3. I went base jumping in Canaima, Venezuela.
