Extremadura, Spain. 2007

Welcome to ’N A Perfect World… After years of making travel guides for friends, contributing to amazing publications and sharing my stories via texts and long-winded emails, I’ve decided to create a home base for my passion of exploration. And with that, in a whirlwind — like most things in my life — ’N A Perfect World… is born.

Here, you’ll soon find a curated intersection of travel, fashion and geopolitics & socialization inspired by the global citizen lifestyle of the millennial. From up-and-coming artisans to locales, ’N A Perfect World… will invite you off the beaten path.

Speaking of “off the beaten path,” the best way to really enjoy your travels is to figure out, “what kind of traveler are you?” Are you an all-inclusive person? Do you spend weeks before your vacation pouring over travel books (and hopefully my site 😉 ) and planning your vacation down to the second? Would you prefer to hop on a plane and wing-it? Do your friends preface emails with, “where in the world are you now?” or are you a person of routine? Hopefully, ’N A Perfect World… will have something for everyone.

Me? Through my travels I’ve found that I’m a “spontaneous planner.” People are often surprised by my willingness and eagerness to travel alone. So far, in my journeys, this hasn’t impacted my safety and has afforded me great cultural leeway and freedom. Being that I do often travel alone, pre-trip, my planning side kicks in: I’m looking up everything about my destination and jotting everything from great hiking vistas to the address of the nearest American embassy in my travel notebooks. But, pretty much as soon as I get there, most of my planned itinerary tends to go out of the window and more often than not I find my self sitting shot gun on the way to a fiesta with the locals, or on the back of someone’s motorcycle carving up the mountain to try la meilleure fondue. Why? It all comes down to the number one tool in my travel arsenal.

I’m charming as fuck.
