About Me

Greetings travelers! I write to you from my shoebox-sized New York City abode- though that may be exaggerating how much space I have (my living room is literally in my kitchen). Living in New York City affords me the time to explore the tourist attractions, food scene, and lesser known corners of this city. But the tight confines of my apartment combined with my constant itch to travel means I am always packing my bags and looking for day trips, weekend getaways, or extravagant adventures as often as possible.

I am a planner through and through (and through again). I love to research ahead of my travels to jam-pack as many experiences into my trips as possible. I created Universed Traveler to create succinct how-to guides and recommendations to travel different cities and countries around the world. If you love to squeeze as much as possible into your trips like me, I have the itineraries for you! If you prefer more leisure traveling, I can tell you the coolest spots you have to hit at each location.

Not only am I a travel enthusiast, but I also have Celiac Disease, which means I eat gluten free everywhere I go! For my gluten-free friends, I share my best advice on how to travel different cities and countries in the safest and easiest way possible. I am very sensitive to gluten and cross-contamination so I am very strict on what places I trust eating at. If you are in the same boat as me, I am here to make your travels easier!

If you are interested in learning more about any of my travels, reach out to me!
