About

A compulsive curator, aspiring slow traveler and recovering former litigator. Half-French, half-Canadian and always hungry.

Home airports

YYZ, JFK, FLL, NCE – depends on the season.

My travel style

I love seeking out luxury and elevated experiences just as much as I thrive on discovering under-the-radar local haunts. I get a thrill from beating the crowds and taking the road less traveled, and am always on the hunt for the real deal or the next big thing. Travel doesn't have to be all or nothing – I'll help you find the perfect balance between indulgence and exploration, tried-and-true classics and up-and-coming gems, Michelin-star and dive bar.
