Passports & Places

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the world. As a young boy, I remember digging in the dirt thinking I could make it to China, being obsessed with the ancient sites of Egypt, and packing my favorite toys in the car hoping for a road trip to California. Now that I’ve grown up (mostly), I’ve turned that childish wonder into a life of travel and exploration.

And while the major tourist attractions are great, I believe most of your time in a new place should be spent discovering the true heart and soul of that destination. That means eating where locals eat, rubbing elbows with them on public transportation, and visiting hidden gems that have half the visitors as a main site. So follow me as I wander and explore the world beyond the guidebooks!
