Updated: 6/20 No longer in New Orleans, back in New York!

Like the rest of you, I enjoy good vibes, great company, and travelling to see what the world has to offer.

I work as a management consultant which means I get to travel on the weekly to different cities. New York born and raise, but working in New Orleans until the end of November 2017. My company puts me in a hotel Monday-Thursday, but I like staying the weekend in hostels to meet all of you interesting people.

If you ever need housing in New Orleans let me know because my company puts me in a hotel! #SPG

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So I had to meet another group of friends in Malaysia while I was already in Malaysia....but my flight to Malaysia was departing from Singapore (my bags which I left at another friends place was in Singapore as well)

So we took an 8-hour bus from Malaysia to Singapore and said hey look we got 8 hour left lets YOLO to Indonesia since it's only a 45 minute boat ride. Long story short, we went to Indonesia where no one spoke English, bought a cab driver (who didn't speak english) with us into a island resort where we jet skii'd and lounged on the beach for 4 hours. Got driven back by our cabbie (who had an awesome time at the resort also lol) to the Ferry back to Singapore got my stuff and just made it to the plane to catch my flight. BTW the plane was an hour late which is the only reason I made it haha...'scuse my grammar on this one I free typed it.
