About Me

Do these words resonate with you as deeply as they do with me?

By profession, I’m an executive. But my true passion? Traveling with my family — and planning those trips with an almost obsessive level of detail. Four, five, sometimes eight times a year, I’m chasing meaningful experiences. I even joke that I keep a few trips quiet because the ones people know about already make me look excessive.

But here’s the deeper story: I was formally diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, specifically on the obsessive side. I don’t use the term lightly. It’s real — and it’s something many travelers quietly carry. But when managed and channeled well, OCD can become a kind of superpower: driving extraordinary preparation, thoughtful structure, and smoother, safer, more intentional travel.

For me, planning is not just part of the journey — it’s part of the healing.

I constantly ask myself:

• Do I have the perfect plan?
   
• Am I using the right gear for this trip?
   
• How do I avoid rookie mistakes?
   
• Am I maximizing every travel point or perk?
   
• Is this truly the best tour or local experience?
   
• Will that brunch spot be safe for my child’s food allergy?
   
• Does that new travel bag or gadget actually deliver — or is it hype?
   

If you find yourself asking similar questions… you might be an OCD Traveler too.

This space is for people who love adventure but crave control. Who embrace spontaneity — but only after the groundwork is rock solid. Who believe that preparation doesn’t limit freedom… it unlocks it.

So join in as I test travel gear, refine packing systems, share real-world travel insights, and turn anxious planning into confident adventure.

Plan. Travel. Repeat. And maybe discover your superpower along the way.
