  • Why do you travel?

    Simply put, to understand: myself, my fellow travelers, other cultures, where we came from, where we might be going.

  • What’s one thing you never travel without?

    A good book for long plane/train/bus rides.


    Find the best coffee.

  • Where did you have your most unforgettable meal?

    Franklin’s BBQ in Austin, Texas. It’s probably the only place in the world worth a two-hour line (especially since you can tailgate with mimosas while you wait).

  • What’s on your travel bucket list?

    Everywhere? But more specifically at this moment: the Atacama Desert; the sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica; New Zealand; and Lyon, France.

  • Where’s your favorite beach in the world?

    Puerto Escondido, Mexico.

  • What are your favorite countries, destinations to travel to?

    Ireland will always have a huge place in my heart. The people, the landscapes, the Guinness. It’s been over eight years since I lived there, but it still feels like home.


    Hang with the penguins on a cruise through Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands.

  • What items do you always try to bring back as souvenirs?

    Wine/craft beer/booze that I can share with my friends, or anything I can decorate my home with (aka all the tchotchkes).

  • What's your first travel memory?

    A true New Englander’s answer: exploring Boston and road-tripping up to the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
