About Us

For years, I’ve lived my professional life in the world of law briefs, hearings, and long days advocating for clients. I love what I do, but there’s always been another part of me that lights up in a different way: travel.

Travel has shaped who I am. My family and I have lived abroad, spent weeks wandering through Europe, explored South America in depth, and sailed the Caribbean more times than I can count. Those journeys didn’t just fill a passport—they filled my life with perspective, memories, and connection.

And somewhere along the way, I realized something important: while the courtroom sharpened my skills, the journey is where my passion truly lives.

That’s why I created Travel Brief.

The name nods to my legal background (yes, I still can’t quite put down the “briefs”!) but more importantly, it reflects what I love to share: short, powerful insights about travel. Think of it as your insider’s “briefing” on the best destinations, smartest planning tips, and inspiration for adventures big and small.

Here, I’ll be writing about:

• The places I’ve lived and explored.

• Practical tips to make your trips smoother.

• Stories from the road—sometimes glamorous, sometimes messy, always real.

• Advice on planning travel that isn’t just a vacation, but an experience.

I believe that travel isn’t just about going somewhere new. It’s about transformation—discovering new cultures, reconnecting with family, and creating memories that last a lifetime. And helping others do that? That’s my favorite part.

So, welcome to Travel Brief. Whether you’re here for inspiration, advice, or simply to share in the joy of exploring this world, I’m glad you’re with me.

Here’s to the journey—let’s make it unforgettable.
