My travel style
Discovering a desirable location is just the beginning, truly loving a place requires creating memories that are specific to each trip. Such as the magic of Christmas markets in Germany, riding camels in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, sailing the Croatian archipelago, enjoying squid ink pasta in Venice or going to a beer bath spa in Prague. I seek out serene hotel locations close to the lively city centers, all within walking distance to the best restaurants. When I am not exploring a new city, you can find me nurturing my soul on a white sand beach. If you are like me your “travitude” gets stronger when you have been home for too long. I can help you cure this ailment.
