Born and raised in Southern California. Currently based in Brooklyn, New York. I'm a writer and editor with 10 years of experience in travel, and my work touches food, pop culture, adventure, and responsible travel. I have lived in Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro, and Lima; Latin America is my region of expertise, though I’m excited about emerging destinations around the world.

I’m the associate director of articles at Condé Nast Traveler, and also accepting freelance assignments, speaking opportunities, and consulting gigs—and just about anything else intriguing. Let’s talk.
