My approach to travel is slow, immersive, and culturally focused. I believe in taking the time to truly connect with the destinations I visit, savoring local flavors, and indulging in the unique coffee and food scenes that each place has to offer. As a wellness enthusiast, I integrate activities that promote well-being, such as yoga retreats, spa treatments, and mindfulness practices, into my travel itineraries.
