Travel style

My travels almost always include a boutique hotel paired with as many little luxuries as possible. Great food and wine, art, culture and local flavor experiences are my go-to's when I plan a trip. I love a great architectural boat tour while sipping champagne and chasing sunsets. In the summer, you'll find me in Europe enjoying quality time with my friends and family, exploring new places and feeding my creativity.
