Professional Background
Born and raised in the scenic town of Hood River, Oregon, I've cultivated a deep passion for global exploration with particular expertise in American and European destinations. Currently residing in Redmond, Washington, I work as a proud contributor to Elitrawo.com, bringing my Western travel knowledge to complement the blog's strong foundation in Vietnamese and Southeast Asian travel guides.
My Travel Journey
My adventure began in the picturesque landscapes of Hood River, where the natural beauty of Oregon inspired my curiosity about diverse destinations around the world. Since then, I've dedicated myself to experiencing the rich historical tapestry and cultural vibrancy that defines both American and European locations. These experiences now enrich my contributions to Elitrawo's mission of eliminating travel worries for readers worldwide.
Writing Approach
I specialize in creating authentic travel narratives that combine practical guides with cultural insights. My writing for Elitrawo.com focuses on:
- Detailed city guides for hidden American and European gems
- Cross-cultural perspectives between Western and Vietnamese travel experiences
- Budget accommodation reviews and transportation tips
My Essential Travel Gear
Years of travel blogging have taught me which tools truly make a difference. Here's what you'll always find in my travel kit:
- Sony a7II with 24-105mm lens – My go-to camera setup that balances professional quality with portability, perfect for capturing everything from sweeping landscapes to intimate cultural moments
- Manfrotto Befree tripod – Essential for creating consistent, high-quality solo travel content
- WANDRD PRVKE 31L backpack – The perfect travel companion that protects my equipment while allowing quick access for spontaneous photo opportunities
- Compression packing cubes – My secret for fitting multiple outfit options while maintaining a minimalist packing approach
- 1TB portable SSD – Non-negotiable for backing up photos across time zones
- Universal power adapter – A lifesaver that keeps me connected and working efficiently across continents
I regularly share honest reviews of these tools on Elitrawo.com, helping fellow travelers make informed decisions for their own journeys.
Personal Touch
As a passionate traveler, I bring a unique perspective to Elitrawo. I believe in responsible tourism that respects local cultures while providing authentic experiences. When not writing or traveling, I'm planning my next adventure, researching historical sites, or enjoying quiet moments in nature-habits that inform my thoughtful contributions to the Elitrawo community.
My goal is to help expand Elitrawo's global perspective while maintaining the personal touch and reliable information that has made the blog a trusted resource for eliminating travel worries across continents.
