My travel style

I love a healthy balance when I travel – mixing the perfect amount of adventure with relaxation, partying with wellness, sightseeing must-sees with off-the-beaten-path discoveries. I want to see all the top spots while also diving deep into the local experience and exploring a destination through residents' eyes. I have ample experience as a solo traveler, but am also the go-to person amongst my friends to plan group trips. I'm also a firm believer that where you stay can make a huge impact on your travel experience. I deeply value the unique experiences and amenities that great hospitality can provide.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I once flew from the East Coast to Japan for 24 hours to see the cherry blossoms for my birthday.

  3. I drank snake blood whiskey in Laos.
