About
Chicago-based travel advisor who has a love for travel, adventure and sharing memorable moments while helping those navigating their trips worldwide.
Travel style
I'm very hands-on with traveling to destinations, picking the best outcomes in the outdoor adventure space. From a safari to Etosha National Park in Namibia, to parachuting over the Namib Desert or seeing many of the historic rock-hewn churches of Lalibela — I got it covered. You can get the best in adventure, luxury stays and cultural immersion. Trekking the beautiful Simien Mountains of Ethiopia, and Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, you can also get a chance to wine and dine at one of the most luxurious lodges in these destinations. I make sure that combining budget-savvy techniques and applying points for great accommodation and tour experiences will make your trip as effortless as possible.
