About

I’m originally from Long Island, NY and left the country for the very first time in 1991 when my high school organized an Easter weekend audience with the Pope in Vatican City! As we toured Assisi, Florence, Venice and finally Rome, I was struck by the beauty of other places and made it my mission to experience as much of the world as possible. At the University of Notre Dame, I spent my sophomore year in beautiful Innsbruck, Austria, exploring a lot of Europe while I was there. (By train! Because in those days, flights were much more expensive.) After college, I moved to Chicago and joined the financial services industry. (I know a lot about retirement investing.) The world kept calling me though and I used all my vacation time to visit places like London, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Munich, Beijing, and Hong Kong. After getting my MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, I moved to London where I lived for 11+ years. From my new base in the UK, I branched out, visiting places like Jordan, Israel, Morocco, Egypt, Oman, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam. In 2018, I took 9 months off to travel through Asia, exploring places like China, Bali, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Laos. As of this writing, I've been to 78 countries. These days, I live in sunny West Palm Beach, Florida. And while I still enjoy planning my own trips, now my mission is to help others plan theirs. After over 20 years in corporate America, I know what it's like to need a break but have no idea where to start! Let me take that burden off you!! If you're curious about the world and other people and cultures -- and food!! -- let's talk.
