Tell us a little bit about the founder of Black Marks the Spot.
Most travelers can vividly remember their first overseas trip. For me, it was Paris, France in 2014. Everything about the trip made me feel all types of beautiful emotions. My daily morning routine was to find a coffee shop nearby and enjoy a delicious noisette (shot of espresso with cream) with some fresh bread. I would sit down for about an hour and soak in the beautiful atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this magnificent city from the Arc de Triomphe to the delicious strawberry crepes sold by street vendors.
Shortly after I returned to the states from Paris, still in awe of my adventurous trip I felt a sense of emptiness. A new passion for international travel was growing at a rapid pace within me.
Fast forward five years later and my travel resume now includes six continents, 47 different countries and checked off all seven man-made Wonders of the World. Click here to see the journey.
