About

A former Berlin expat who has been to six continents (only Antarctica left), 39 countries and 29 US states. My specialty is bougie on a budget. I always know what's new and what's hot.

Travel style

I like the finer things in life – the best restaurants, nice hotels and business class flights. However, I don't want to spend an arm and leg, so I'm an expert at mixing and matching high-low experiences to average down costs while still having a luxe experience.
