Travel style
The travel itineraries I create offer a mix of luxury and affordable options. I believe the best trips are the ones that immerse you in the culture of the place you’re visiting, the ones during which you meet locals and artisans and learn something new. The surprise factor is an important part of my travels; I love stumbling upon something unexpected and then getting a fabulous night's sleep in an amazing hotel. Beautiful design and delicious food are a must and authenticity is key, at any price point. I’m passionate about sustainability and always strive to be conscious about my role as a tourist and consumer.
