Based in Brooklyn, I am a travel and lifestyle writer who loves a great deal. I once ran my own website focused on how to jetset while underemployed, which says a lot about how I roll. Currently, I contribute to and write for multiple news sites and websites, including the Discovery Channel. I stretch my budget by keeping an eye on the Slickdeals app on my phone and use the extra savings to travel the world in style whenever possible.
