The community has been an eye-opener of what the travel industry can be all about – open, collaborative, sharing, and caring about the future of travel. I've attended several Travel Massive events in Europe before joining the team 5 years ago. I've met incredible professionals, worked on amazing tourism projects, and have been able to learn every step of the way.
A nice mountain where I can snowboard and a nice beach where I can surf. I've recently really enjoyed Greece for its hospitality, great food, quality life, and adventure and outdoor sports opportunities.
Will spend 2-3 months in Japan in winter 2024 - snowboarding and exploring.
