Favorite Destination
The summer after I graduated high school, I visited the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park, some of the most beautiful places in the world. I’m a very athletic person, so I loved all of the hiking and sightseeing in the area. Plus, it is a great way to unplug and take in nature away from the big city. I would go back in a heartbeat.
On My Bucket List
After growing up in an Italian-American household my whole life, I’m crossing my fingers that one day I’ll try pasta on Italian soil. And the Mamma Mia super-fan in me craves a life-changing trip to Greece! I also think Santa Fe, New Mexico has a lot to offer, and I’d love to spend a weekend there taking in the incredible sights and food.
Travel Philosophy
Go with the flow. I enjoy the escapism that comes with leaving home, so I aim to be relaxed but also stimulated as I embark on new adventures.
