I was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in New Jersey by my incredible mom, who worked in the travel industry. As a child, she worked for Starwood Hotels in Times Square, and many of my summers were spent exploring the hotel that felt like my second home. If you've ever watched The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, that's honestly the closest comparison!

While other kids were reading storybooks, I was flipping through travel brochures from Starwood properties around the world, dreaming about the places I'd visit someday. Those brochures sparked a curiosity that eventually turned into a lifelong passion for exploring new cultures, trying local food, and collecting unforgettable experiences.

Today, I've traveled to more than 45 countries across six continents, with many of those adventures taken completely on my own. My very first solo trip was to Iceland, and it gave me the confidence to see the world in a whole new way. Thailand quickly stole my heart, and after visiting twice, it's still one of my favorite places on Earth.

These days, my adventures look a little different. I'm a wife, a mom to our daughter Gianna, a lifelong Disney fan who's visited every Disney park in the world, and someone who still gets excited every time I step onto a cruise ship or board a plane.
