About

I try to be as sustainable as possible – I was vegetarian for a few years and now I'm vegan! I love travel, photography and immersing myself in different cultures.

Home airports

LGA for quick, domestic travel and JFK or EWR for international flights.

My travel style

I prefer short trips over a weekend that typically involve adrenaline-inducing adventures, such as skydiving in Hawaii or ziplining in the Yunque in Puerto Rico. I am vegan so I tend to scope out vegan-friendly establishments wherever I go. I enjoy renting cars and taking long drives to explore as much as possible. I also just recently got into photography and mostly focus on landscape photography.

Favorite hotels

MarePineta Resort

This boutique hotel is a reimagined 1920s getaway, located in Milano Marittima (known as 'garden city'), only a few steps from the Adriatic.

Queen of Sheba Eilat

Named after the Queen of Sheba, this spacious seaside hotel blends modern elements with ancient style.

Recently returned from:

  • Renting a villa in the mountains of Colombia with friends.

  • Jet setting to St. Thomas for a day trip.

  • Soaking up with the sun in Aruba.

  • Going on an adventure to see wild animals on safari in southern Africa.

Dreaming of:

  • Kenya. 

  • African coast islands – Seychelles, Madagascar.

  • Australia and New Zealand. 

  • Eastern Asia.

One thing I can't travel without...

My camera.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I went skydiving through rain clouds in Hawaii.

  2. I broke my hand during a snowboarding trip in Italy.

  3. I learned to drive a manual transmission vehicle, on the opposite side of the road in Johannesburg.
