Travel style

I've visited over 80 countries, and stayed in everything from hostels to sailboats to jaw-dropping luxury resorts. I love getting off the beaten path and uncovering local gems. My jam packed days of adventure travel have slowed down a little now that I travel with a child, but I love finding a balance that keeps parents and kids happy and engaged. That being said, I can still plan an epic trip without kids though! And did I mention how much I love a great beach?
