I travel for a living, a Delta 1 Million Miler 1MM, 10 years Diamond Medallion, 7 years straight Marriott Ambassador Elite, and oddly still Hilton Diamond (lame!). It’s the stories I collect along the way that truly fuel me.
From high-rise hotels in buzzing metropolises to quiet beachside cafés tucked between palm trees, my career takes me across the United States and beyond—and I take every opportunity to explore, taste, and soak up the local vibe. Whether I'm grabbing late-night bites in Belgium, sipping wine in Napa, or discovering rooftop gems in New York City, I always keep an eye out for the places and moments worth sharing.

This site is my travel log and guidebook rolled into one—a place where you’ll find detailed insights into the restaurants, hotels, rooftops, beach spots, bars, and other hidden treasures that define each city. Whether you're chasing your next adventure or planning a weekend escape, I hope my posts help you travel smarter, eat better, and find magic in every stop.
