Travel style

As an immigrant who grew up in New York and a former student abroad now working for a German company. I am an advocate for transformational travel — I love to navigate all that the world has to offer through the cuisines, customs and culture that is unique to each destination. My passion is uncovering the story behind each place I visit! I am a firm believer that the best part of any travel journey is understanding the history, its people and ways of life that make it.
