I caught the travel bug when I traveled to France as a high school student, and I’ve been discovering the world one country at a time ever since. I love the thrill of visiting somewhere I’ve never been, as well as the comfort of returning to my favorite locations. For me, the planning and research involved in the perfect vacation is just as rewarding as the actual trip. I enjoy the details and know that the small things can make the biggest difference. I’m a people person, and in my work and travel I want to know the story behind the people I meet. Travel is a way to connect to our global community and experience firsthand the diversity of cultures, the wonders of nature, the history of our planet, and pleasures of intriguing food. I would love to help you plan your next discovery.
