About

Welcome! I’m the voice behind Explore With Intent — a space where travel meets purpose. I don’t travel to check boxes; I travel to feel alive, learn, and make memories that matter.

Travel shaped me long before I realized it. From poring over brochures as a kid to wandering cities and far-flung destinations on my own, I learned early that the places we choose can leave lasting impressions. Not because they’re famous, but because they resonate with us personally.

Explore With Intent exists to help you travel with awareness and curiosity. It’s great to accumulate destinations, but it’s more important to understand what makes a place meaningful. Here you’ll find thoughtful reflections, practical insights, and stories that help you think differently about travel and intention.

This isn’t about luxury or chasing trends (though I do like luxury but not all the time.) It’s about asking “What place would make me the happiest right now to see?” and learning how to make that answer real. I’m glad you’re here, and I look forward to exploring with you.
