About

An NYC-based explorer with family ties in Hawai'i, constantly seeking out the best destinations worldwide. I love sharing my expertise to help others experience the joy of travel through unforgettable journeys, and would be thrilled to help you plan your next adventure!

Travel style

I love a mix of adventure and relaxation, and seek out the best food and experiences in every city. I get so much joy immersing myself in different cultures through local cuisines and museums, while also enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and beach outings. I aim to cover the "must-visit" spots while leaving room for spontaneous discoveries and local experiences. Whether you prefer adventure or relaxation or a mix, I can tailor the trip to your preferences. My goal is to create a truly memorable and stress-free experience for you!
