Travel style

I love planning my travel around food, especially a place where I can wander through neighborhoods and stop in for a drink and pastry. I'm always looking for the best local experiences a place has to offer as locals know best. I believe that it is important to give back to the community you are traveling to as much as possible, so look for experiences and places to stay that are run by locals. I love combining budget-friendly places with once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
