Travel style

I used to adventure travel but have turned into more of a luxury boutique hotel kind of person. You won't find me in my hotel room for too long though, I love to walk and explore, especially cities with history and culture. Good travel is made better with good food, and I think this is why Mexico is one of my favorite destinations.
