Travel style

I love using my passion for food and travel to help people create memorable experiences by tailoring each itinerary to suit personal tastes and preferences. I have a knack for finding off-the-beaten-path destinations and local gems, and my itineraries often include hotels with in-house or nearby dining options. Whether it's street food or Michelin-starred restaurants, you can bet that I have the scoop on the best bites in town. Culture and history are also important to me, as is sustainable travel. I always look for accommodations that are doing their part to positively contribute to the ecosystem.
