My travel style
Love to experience activities authentic to a location – not tourist-centric itineraries. To me, it's about learning the art, history, culture, cooking and crafts that make a city or country special. I stay in the center of a city, while blending must-see sights and getting off-the-beaten-path.
Favorite hotels
Recently returned from:
Wandering Gardens By The Bay and sampling chili crab in Singapore.
Taking a Vietnamese cooking class in Ho Chi Minh City.
Learning how to make authentic pad Thai in Koh Samui, Thailand.
Experiencing dog sled training on Douglas Island in Juneau, Alaska.

Switzerland train tour with my family.
New Zealand wine tour.
Antarctica cruise.
One thing I can't travel without...
My camera.
Two truths, one lie:
I did not have a proper visa so I hopped off a public bus to avoid the police in St. Petersburg, before hopping back on when it looped around to go to the Church of Spilled Blood.
I dropped my phone out of a hot air balloon in Ronda, Spain.
My friend was detained in Shenzhen for having an apple in his backpack.
