About

Hospitality expert with 15 years experience working in all types of accommodation – from surf hostels in Guatemala to island guest houses to NYC luxury boutique hotels. Backpacker, food and music lover.

Home airports

JFK.

My travel style

Avid solo traveler. I love smaller independent boutique hotels, but truly a backpacker at heart – if you need to take a pontoon plane, a pack-mule and a zip line to get to a beautiful remote beach – I'm in! I'm a sucker for great food and amazing sunsets, beachy bonfire singalongs and I love the unexpected – going with the flow, meeting some locals and seeing where the day takes us.

Two truths, one lie:
