About

Self-proclaimed as "The Greedy Traveler" — someone who attempts to see and experience everything a place has to offer. Super organized and detailed planner who wants to find the coolest places around and is happy to share what she's found.

Travel style

I see travel as a gateway — travel, to me, allows you to learn about other people, other places and cultures and other perspectives. That said, I am willing to admit that I love to explore most when I know that I'm safe when I sleep, that I'm at peace in my surroundings and that I have incredible choices for food! Travel is way more enjoyable when you're comfortable. I am all about finding the perfect balance between luxury and affordability and always seek to find ways to connect the two.
