Travel style
I like to blur the line between boutique and luxury. Finding unique properties and experiences that fit into the local environment but have higher-end amenities and dining.
I love all aspects of travel and seek out new experiences in every situation, whether I'm flying a new airline, taking a scenic train, in a UNESCO hotel property, eating at a Michelin-Starred restaurant or sipping local wine. Feel free to ask me about any part of your journey!
