Meet our passionate travel editor, who brings the spirit of adventure to every article. With a deep-seated love for exploring the quirks and treasures of each state, they have an eye for the unique - be it destinations, events, or local customs. Their journey hasn't been your typical globetrotter's tale. Since the pandemic, they've rooted themselves in the nurturing grounds of a family business, cultivating a thriving garden of homegrown plants, vegetables, and an assortment of cacti and succulents. Their hands, equally skilled in the delicate art of gardening and the robust craft of steelwork, shape gates and windows that stand as testaments to resilience and growth.

In a lively home where the barks, purrs, and clucks of a beloved menagerie blend into the laughter of an energetic 8-year-old, our editor finds joy in the simple things. Between managing a bustling household and cheering on their son's taekwondo ambitions, they weave tales of travel that inspire and connect. Their stories are a tribute to the roads less traveled and the local experiences that make each journey memorable!
