Profile details

About

As a food-centric, budget-conscious, preferably luxury traveler, I love researching everything about events happening where I'm going and balancing must-see tourist spots with hidden local culinary gems.

Travel style

It's all about where the food is sustainably curated, the music, museum or art festival is close by and the views are unmatched. If we are talking about how I love to travel, preferably by the water with a glass of champagne, or a fantastic bourbon in hand. I am all about wise choices that elevate expectations while sticking to budgets when it matters most. Having relationships with locals unlocks a world of experiences that allow you to indulge when celebrating milestone moments, or looking for that hidden culinary gem.
