About

L.A based language teacher and "wanna-be" travel consultant, specializing in student life/travel abroad and adult European/Canadian vacations.

Travel style

Living among the people of a culture is my thing. I love to shop at the local cheese/charcuterie shops, frequent farmer's markets and learn how to cook the region's food. I’m a fan and advocate for getting around a city using local transit (i.e. Velib, scooters or walking). I love to discover new restaurants and pair food with great local wines. I enjoy luxury and also small unique places with charm.
