Travel style

Born into a budget hotel family, but destined to sleep in 600-thread-count sheets. There is no better feeling than falling into your hotel bed after an adventure-filled day. You can usually find me skiing through fresh powder or running a marathon in a new city, but I always make time to scope out something new and exciting to eat!
