About me

I love showing people how they can travel responsibly - through the impact they have on the community, culture, and environment they're visiting. I've worked in all aspects of the tourism, hospitality and travel sectors and love how the industry connects the world.

Why did you join the community?

After spending a few years in Private Equity, I miss working in the tourism industry and connecting people to places. I want to meet other people

What is your favorite travel destination?

Spain - I spent 2 months walking the Camino de Santiago and experiencing the country on foot made me fall in love with the food, people, and heritage stronger than anywhere else I've been.

Where do you dream of traveling to?

What was your first travel job?

I interned a destination management organization and helped bring more people to our region. It was fun to experience my hometown from a tourist POV and I learned to appreciate and find it more.

What do you want to learn more about?

Who you are and what you're working on? I love meeting people and hearing what they're passionate about. If you're reading this, I invite you to send me a message and introduce yourself.

Three words that describe why we should travel?
