My Story
My passion for travel began at an early age when my family decided to move from Santa Cruz, California over to Europe.
After spending nearly a decade living in London and the South of France, I had a desire to see even more of the world. After attending high school in New Jersey, I went to college in Charleston, South Carolina where I had my first taste of the South — and it will always have a special place in my heart!
During college, I spent a semester studying in Florence, Italy. I truly fell in love with the city and its food and now have a newfound appreciate and interest in my Italian roots (my grandfather was from Italy!).
After college, I moved to southern California which has been my home base for nearly a decade now. I love exploring all the beautiful places in California and am always planning my next big trip.
