About

New Yorker living in LA. While I'm obsessed with making discoveries around the world, at home I'm focused on writing, interior design and wellness. I'm a mom to three girls and a boy Cavalier.

Home airports

LAX.

My travel style

I travel for beauty – whether a stunning monastery, unique architecture, a gorgeous plate of food or a charming hotel. Discovering the coolest spots in any destination makes my pulse quicken. While I love the city and country equally, I am always looking to explore beyond what I've already seen. I believe passion can be infectious and hope to spread my insane love for discovery to anyone who's ready to explore.

Favorite hotels

Hacienda de San Antonio

An art- and antique-filled estate in a magical setting at the base of a volcano deep in the Colima cloud forest.

In an unbeatable location on the Grand Canal, this palazzo is a favorite for its classical design (all stucco, marble and mosaics), in-the-know staff and 7th-floor terrace restaurant.

Gramercy Park Hotel

Celeb-adored hotel overlooking its namesake park, with a destination Danny Meyer restaurant and late-night cocktail bar.

One thing I can't travel without...

Master and dynamic noise-canceling headphones.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I spent a few nights on a mountain in northern Thailand.

  2. I arrived at the airport realizing I left my passport in a Panamanian hotel.

  3. I was mugged outside a restaurant in Guatemala City.
