Travel style
I am passionate about sustainable wanderlust and I seek to leave a positive footprint on each destination I visit. I prioritize authentic experiences, hunting for hidden gems off the beaten path, immersing myself in local culture and supporting community-driven initiatives. Blending in with the locals, savoring the flavors of chic cafés and discovering the culinary delights of the best restaurants known only to insiders is my specialty. I seek to optimize costs through points and miles, but splurge on unforgettable experiences that enrich my journey and create lasting memories. For me, travel isn't just about seeing the sights, it's about forging connections, savoring moments and leaving each place enriched and better than I found it.
Full time, I am a leukemia nurse practitioner. Caring for this patient population is what started my passion for travel. Understanding that life is short and unpredictable, pushed me to leave my comfort zone and stop waiting for "one day" to get out and explore. I hope to encourage and help others turn their "one day" into now.
