An Insider’s Guide To World Travel

Name:

Nationality:

American

About Me:

I consider myself spontaneous and always ready for adventure – I love to immerse myself in the cities I visit and experience what it’s like to be there as a local. I spend most of my time on the road, checking out many of the popular cities in the United States, but I also try to take trips abroad when time permits. I love to visit major cosmopolitan cities like New York City just as much as I enjoy a hike through Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.

My travels include many iconic tourist spots, but I try to spend equal time going off the beaten path to explore the everyday parts of the city. I love going into places like a small shop in San Francisco’s Chinatown to enjoy tea, surrounded by people who make that a part of their daily routine. To me, traveling is also about understanding the culture and lifestyle of the places you visit – visiting local shops and immersing yourself in the neighborhood is the way to do that!
