Experience

Aaron is a New York City–based travel writer with more than 20 years of experience. His adventures in 50-plus countries have included navigating the entirety of Iceland’s Ring Road, traversing Peru by luxury train, yachting in the Seychelles, and eating and drinking his way through Italy. His work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, New York, Purist, Travel Channel, HGTV and Grazia USA, among others. When he’s not dreaming up and mapping out itineraries to explore new destinations around the world, Aaron is likely consulting on travel trends or planning extended sabbaticals to live like a local in far-flung cities, as he has done in Bratislava, Slovakia; Mexico City, Mexico; and most recently, Rome, Italy.
