About Me

I have spent a lot of my childhood traveling the world, growing up with different cultures, and eating local cuisines. Travel is a huge passion of mine and ultimately shaped who I am today. Growing up in 4 different countries - The United States, Dubai, Kazakhstan, and Oman - and getting the opportunity to travel to unique destinations has allowed me to see the world differently. I fell in love with travel when I recently studied abroad in Rome, Italy. The independence, planning weekend trips around Europe with my classmates, savoring the local food & wine, learning the language, and being able to really live in the culture made me realize I want to share my experiences with others.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors - swimming, hiking, surfing - and trying new recipes! My family likes to say "we live to eat" and we have always prioritized good food & drinks. When I travel, I love to take a local food tour or a cooking class. You are able to learn so much about the city/country through their food.

I have traveled to over 30 countries and counting!

My Favorite Travel Memories/Destinations:

• Belize - Sailing on a catamaran for 5 days with my family on the ultra blue water has been my favorite family vacation. Whether its stopping at a private island or in the jungle this country is truly magical.
• Lake Como, Italy - This place is breathtaking, the views alone are spectacular. The cuisine is divine, a true representation of Italy. Lake Como is in a great location as you can take day trips to Milan, the wine region of Piedmont, another body of water: Lake Garda, and the Dolomites.
