Full-Time Traveler, Founder of ViaTravelers.com, and Digital Entrepreneur

About Me

With a unique journey from finance to travel entrepreneurship, I've transformed my passion for exploration into ViaTravelers.com, a thriving digital media platform. As founder and CEO, I've helped over 10 million readers discover authentic travel experiences worldwide, establishing the site as a trusted resource in the travel industry.

My background in finance, including my role as Vice President at North Sky Capital where I managed sustainable investment portfolios, has provided me with the analytical foundation to approach travel content creation with data-driven insights. This unique combination of financial acumen and travel expertise has been invaluable in growing ViaTravelers from concept to one of the fastest-growing travel platforms, now featuring contributions from over 13,000 photographers and writers.

Currently based in Amsterdam, I've personally explored over 15 countries, 30 US states, and more than 20 national parks across 4 continents. This firsthand experience, combined with my business expertise and photography skills, allows me to share authentic cultural insights and practical travel advice that has been featured in major publications including Travel + Leisure, CNN, The Telegraph, and MarketWatch.

As a photographer, I specialize in travel and cultural documentation, with a particular focus on European destinations and sustainable travel practices. My work emphasizes authentic storytelling over conventional tourism marketing, reflecting my commitment to responsible travel and cultural sensitivity.
