As a seasoned travel advisor, I specialize in crafting journeys that seamlessly blend adventure with relaxation. My expertise spans the West Coast, the Pacific Northwest, Mexico, and road trip travel, with a particular fondness for city explorations. I believe that a successful trip is one that offers both excitement and downtime—imagine a challenging 10-mile hike up a mountain, followed by unwinding by a serene pool. I have a penchant for venturing off the beaten path, seeking out destinations during their shoulder seasons to experience them in a more authentic light. This approach not only allows me to discover hidden gems but also ensures a more personalized and less crowded experience for my clients. My travels are always accompanied by a quest for unique souvenirs, each piece telling a story of the places I've visited. One of my recent endeavors was creating a casual guide to Todos Santos, Mexico. For decades, Baja California has been an adventurer's dream destination, with unmarked roads leading to undiscovered utopias perfect for surfing, hiking, and immersing oneself in local culture. This guide reflects my commitment to sharing these off-the-beaten-path experiences with fellow travelers. When it comes to accommodations, I have a curated list of favorites that offer both comfort and character. The High Line Hotel, a boutique property in a converted redbrick dormitory from 1865, provides chic rooms and suites that exude historical charm. Capri Tiberio Palace, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, offers luxe rooms and suites in a chic boutique setting. Hotel La Bohemia, an authentic property in a white-washed adobe building, provides cozy rooms and suites that capture the essence of local architecture. My travel style is dynamic; I prefer to make concrete plans and then embrace the spontaneity that travel often brings. This flexibility allows me to adapt to new experiences and ensures that every journey is unique and memorable.
