I’m originally from Long Island, NY and left the country for the very first time in 1992 when my high school organized an Easter weekend audience with the Pope in Vatican City! As we toured Assisi, Florence, Venice and finally Rome, I was struck by the beauty of other places and made it my mission to experience as much of the world as possible. At the University of Notre Dame, I spent my sophomore year in beautiful Innsbruck, Austria, exploring a lot of Europe while I was there. (By train! Because in those days, flights were much more expensive.)

After college, I moved to Chicago and joined the investment management industry. The world kept calling me though and I used all my vacation time to visit places like London, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Munich, Beijing, and Hong Kong. After getting my MBA from The University of Chicago, I moved to London where I lived for 11+ years. From my new base in the UK, I branched out, visiting places like Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Jordan, Israel, Morocco and Oman. I also wrote one of London's most popular restaurant and travel blogs. (If you're a foodie, we should definitely talk!) Today, my background as a food and travel writer makes it easy and enjoyable to send out a weekly travel newsletter via my website AntidoteTravel.com.

In 2018/19, I took 9 months off to travel the world, exploring places like mainland China, Taiwan, Bali, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Laos, Egypt, and Serbia. As of this writing, I've been to 78 countries.

These days, I live in sunny West Palm Beach, Florida. And while I still enjoy planning my own trips, now my mission is to help others plan theirs and make them as seamless and stress-free as possible. After 30 years in corporate America, and as a caretaker for my elderly mom with Parkinson's Disease, I know what it's like to need a break but feel overwhelmed by all the options. Let me take that burden off you! If you're curious about the world and other people and cultures -- and food and wine -- let's talk.
