Why you should book my services:

I have traveled to 35+ countries around the world and 33 states within the United States as well as lived on 3 continents in the international cities of New York City, Rome, and Mumbai. In addition to my passion for seeing the world, it brings me immense joy to make it easier for others to see the world.

My deep understanding of different cultures and what it takes to travel in unfamiliar countries makes the challenges of trip planning much easier for you.

It’s tailored to your interests; whether you are looking for cultural recommendations, cooking classes, activities like hiking or biking, delicious dinners, beach relaxation, or unique wildlife experiences.
