Travel style
Guided by the creative intersections of the latest style, design, fashion and food philosophies, I'm always seeking the best travel experience that would satisfy the most peculiar taste connoisseur. Hidden gems and boutique travel are my specialties. Nothing exhilarates me more than the discovery of a stylish hotel, local designs, authentic restaurants or a speakeasy cocktail bar. I'm all about striking a balance between taste and accessibility.
