I love traveling! It runs in my whole family and was instilled upon us when we were kids. I didn't have much time to travel after I graduated college, but after I found a stable career, I was able to find more time (and money) to make it a priority. 

What kind of traveler am I?
I am a fast-paced traveler. I like being active and I don’t really take leisurely vacations.

If I'm going to a region, I generally try to go to multiple countries/cities in the area (if it’s practical) instead of staying in one spot the whole trip. There are always exceptions of course!

I prefer nature over the city. I love lakes, mountains, forests, waterfalls, meadows, etc. over the bustling city. Don't get me wrong, I still want to experience it, but I love getting away from that since I already live in a big city ;)

What do I do when I'm not traveling?  
I love music, sports, food, photography, video, and dogs. I live in Los Angeles, CA.

My Bachelors degree is in Audio Engineering and I started my career working in music recording studios. I spent 9 years at BuzzFeed specializing in managing and developing lifestyle brands. I developed and grew the Tasty, Nifty, Bring Me!, and Goodful brands.

I own and operate One North Candle Company. The candle scents are inspired by my travels around the world.
