I was lucky to grow up in a family that valued travel and new experiences – these memories left a huge impact on me and my mom is still the person I travel with most. I have explored Peru and Ecuador, lived and studied in Thailand, and hiked Kenyan craters in the African bush. These moments are gifts to me – they give me an appreciation for life that I only seem to get through travel and a renewed sense of connection with the surrounding world.

My passion for researching and planning travel led to starting my first AirBnb Experience in 2017 – a guided hike through local Laguna Beach coves. I loved sharing what makes a place special.

With degrees in anthropology and psychology, my love of working with people and exploring cultures naturally collides in travel. I focus on fulfilling, authentic experiences that deliver maximum satisfaction.
