About

Type A about travel planning and creating new experiences, so you don't have to be. Massachusetts-based, working as a Talent Acquisition Consultant when I'm not flying around the world! I always find my way into the local bookstores to indulge in reading a book in any corner of the world, typically with a coffee in hand.

Travel style

My desire to explore new places has led me to life-changing experiences in over 12 countries since I began traveling independently 7 years ago.

As an experience-driven traveler, I have embraced many new ways to travel, ranging from solo journeys, immersing myself in the community atmosphere of hostels, to exploring tropical islands after landing via cruise port or plane.

I am passionate about helping travelers explore new destinations and cultures. I particularly enjoy recommending digital nomad and solo travel experiences, as they provide an opportunity for an immersive travel adventure.
