My travel style
Former solo backpacker turned family travel flashpacker – backpacker at heart with a little more cash in the pocket! I always keep my love of exotic and adventure trips alive in my trip planning, even with children in tow. I love everything from bustling cities to off the beaten path middle of nowhere locations. I enjoy a jam-packed travel schedule taking in every experience I can find.
Favorite hotels

One thing I can't travel without...
My wool clothes.
Two truths, one lie:
I lived in India for 10 years.
My 12 year old is a better traveler than me when things go wrong.
I am super organized and tidy at home and in travel.
