ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sibley Slade
Available for hire
An American in Paris... Milan, Lisbon, Athens, London...
I grew up between the Southwest and the Gulf Coast, but feel most at home in a bustling European city, typically with one of my trusty canvas totes by my side!
I am a firm believer that anyone can travel well, regardless of budget, and I want everyone to understand that there’s more out there than just the popular spots you see on instagram. I yearn to connect with the locals wherever I travel, leading to authentic (and sometimes unexpected) adventures. I consider myself an off-the-beaten-path type of traveler, avoiding crowded areas and seasons, searching for hidden gems wherever I find myself in the world. I take pride in carefully curating trips for the traveler I am booking for, making for an extremely unique and memorable trip!
