Last big trip: off-the-beaten-path Japan | Next big trip: Cambodia

I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list (Susan Sontag)

I am a luxury travel and gourmet blogger with a passion for the finer things in life. I seek out exceptional luxury hotels and Michelin-recommended restaurants that merit the experience – and the cost – , and I prefer to explore destinations on foot whenever possible. Occasionally, curiosity takes over, and I find myself diving deeper into the stories behind the places I visit.
