Curator. Drifter. Seeker of simple joys.
I’ve always been more interested in the periphery of a place than the center of it.
The heart of a trip isn’t found on a postcard. For me, it’s about the atmosphere—the muted hum of a West Village side street at dusk, the delight of a perfect meal in an unassuming Roman trattoria, or discovering the dynamic song of a trail that most people drive right past.
Traveling exclusively by car with my two small pups, I’ve learned to value a different kind of rhythm. When you travel with four-legged companions, you stop more often. You notice the light hitting a trailhead. You seek out the brewery with the best patio and the hotel that treats a dog like a guest of honor. You learn that the "slow road" is often the most rewarding one.
I started Two Drifters to bridge the gap between the polished and the personal. I wanted to create a space for travelers who crave intimate cultural immersion, but who also value those well-earned, simple comforts at the end of the day.
Whether I’m mapping a pet-friendly cross-country drift or securing a corner suite in a landmark hotel, my approach remains the same: to intentionalize your travel investment, anchoring your grandest visions with a sense of place and a practical path forward. Balancing the art of wandering well with the precision of planning, the details remain effortless, and the discovery divine.
There’s such a lot of world to see.
Become a #temporarylocal.
