Profile details

About

Addicted to novel cultural experiences. California-based, digital nomad who likes to travel by being embedded within an environment and community.

Travel style

I love to embed myself within a community or environment. I prefer longer vacations so that I can get a localized and insider perspective on boutique and novel travel experiences. I prefer charm over luxury and value authentic, heard-it-through-the-grapevine tips.
