Travel style

I started traveling and living abroad at the age of 10 (as part of a Military family), so my preferences vary, but immersion is always key.

My goal is always to travel like a privileged local - which includes indulging in local food, cooking, wine, art, and live music.

Whether its boutique, luxury resort, or eco - I chose properties based on how well they enable me to get an authentic, yet elevated experience of the destination, and also great value.
