Travel style
Digital-nomad-wannabe who caught the "travel bug" early! I was introduced to luxury travel via point bookings, and now I am always planning my next adventure. In my free time, I keep track of restaurants and culinary experiences in cities across the world, so I always know an exciting place to eat no matter where I am.

Alex's reviews
Hotel Le Ballu went above and beyond - as did Alex! Can’t say enough good things about them both. They both made us feel so special on our honeymoon. Also, our flight was canceled within 24 hours, and both Alex and Hotel Le Ballu ensured our last minute night stay, helped change the transfer from the airport to the hotel, assisted in communications with the airline, and SO much more. So beyond grateful we booked with these two!

Alex was an absolute lifesaver in planning our college scouting trip, booking perfectly located hotels near each campus for my wife, daughter, and me. His thoughtful attention to our schedule and budget made the whole college tour experience stress-free, and we appreciated how he coordinated everything to maximize our time in each city.
