Profile details

About

A native of San Francisco & a travel junkie addicted to exploring incredible places & experiences around the globe. I divide my time between Florence, Lisbon & San Francisco & traveling in between.

Travel style

I love finding “magic” in each place I go…exploring & discovering things off-the-beaten path as well as finding nice boutique & design hotels, great food (street food to Michelin starred restaurants), local culture & unique experiences.
