I've had a passion for travel since my early twenties, and whenever I have the opportunity enjoy exploring new places. The first time I went abroad, I was 23 and worked my way through a trip to Europe tending bar and living above a pub in London. I've been hooked ever since.
My favorite destinations are typically throughout Central Europe, which is where my family is originally from. I actually met my wife on a trip to Kyiv, Ukraine in 2005. Ironically, my great-grandfather was from the city.
Beyond travel, I enjoy film and theater. I'm also a tireless reader, and spend a good bit of my free time engrossed in a magazine article or a book.
