About
As a kid, I dreamed of exploring the world like Indiana Jones. I didn’t become an archaeologist, but I still have a deep passion for uncovering hidden gems and finding unique experiences.
Travel style
My perfect trip is a well balanced blend of escapism and immersion. I’ll spend the morning exploring historic sights and museums before the crowds arrive, resting at the spa in the afternoon, then heading to a local recommended favorite for dinner.
