Travel style

Will always fly for food and good wine. I have a background in food and believe it's the ultimate facilitator of community and culture. To know a city is to know it's food and I prioritize getting a local taste when I travel. I love a good book by the pool, exploring historical ruins or walking around exploring the city and shops.

Alison was incredibly helpful in selecting the right place to stay for my trip. The options she curated were all impressive and she guided me to the right choice by staying at the Condado Vanderbilt. Additionally, her recommendations for dining were outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyed every meal that was recommended in San Juan. I definitely plan on going to Alison to help plan my next vacation.
