I’ve been to 184 Traveler's Century Destinations or 135 UN +3 countries, from Austria to Zimbabwe, and have at least 77 more on my list. Driven by a desire to experience new cultures from the inside out, it’s been my joy to sleep in a yurt, eat bugs, and be chased by wild boars in the Amazon. I’m in constant pursuit of the incredible meal, an avid seeker of the secret travel deal, and a savvy user of rewards points. I promise to share all the tricks I’ve learned in the hopes of helping you find your path. My goal is to inspire my readers to abandon reluctance and get excited about exploring the wonders of parts unknown. Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Departures, Yahoo Travel, Huffington Post, Forbes featured my insights. By day, I’m the CEO of Hearing Access & Innovations, working to improve accessibility for people with hearing loss around the world.
