MIA – Miami style fun in the sun!

My travel style

My travel style varies depending on my travel goals. For a solo trip, I might schedule a luxurious spa day or an adventurous hike with a tour guide or wander the museums and local attractions. For a group trip, we’ll definitely be going to a few tastings (wine, tequila, scotch – whichever spirit the city or county is best known for), probably do a cooking class or make reservations at the finest restaurants (Michelin preferred) and explore the local culture or something adventurous (skydiving, ziplining, etc). I love traveling so much and I want others to experience that same joy when they arrive at the hotel or go on the adventure that I am able to book for them!

One thing I can't travel without...

Besides my phone, my bathroom travel caddy is filled with face cleansers and moisturizers galore!

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I was raised Jewish and I went to Israel for my birthright trip. 

  2. I once missed my flight to Las Vegas (most people miss the flight home from Vegas). 

  3. I learned Korean when I visited Seoul for my 30th birthday.
