About

I was fortunate enough to grow up in a house hold where history and exploration were more than a fairy tale. They were a way of life and became ultimately engrained throughout the threads of my being. When I was young, my father traveled extensively curating shipwreck treasure and antiquities for his clients around the globe. Every summer, my mother and I would join him on the road for a family vacation. These summer travels exposed me to the titans of the numismatic world, who brought with them stories of Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. I devoured countless books from my father’s library in an effort to quench my curiosity about these faraway lands.
At the impressionable age of twelve I boarded my first international flight bound for the Cayman Islands to visit family friends for the summer. Since then, I haven’t stopped traveling and neither has my father for that fact. Traveling is more than merely checking off destination after destination and time spent away from your work place; it is an experience that, if allowed, can expand your mind, open your heart and generate cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
Over the years I have realized that the secret to gleaning the most out of my vacations is a well-organized and researched travel itinerary. I have spent more wee hours of the morning than I would like to admit pouring over destination information, rail schedules and consumer reviews in an effort to perfect my logistics. I created Map in Hand to pass my secrets along to you.
