Welcome to the 72-hour Traveler

Welcome to the 72-hour Traveler -  a blog designed to get the most value out of your travel experience. The views expressed in my postings are that of my own and no person or entity has compensated me for the recommendations outlined in any way. Furthermore, my recommendations are for entertainment purposes only and by reading my posts you understand your experience may differ from my own and that I hold zero liability if your travels fall flat. The goal here is to simply provide information about the cities I have traveled to and list what's hot and what is not. 

About the Author

Since I was in diapers the travel industry, namely airlines, has been in my family.

In the industry, a child of an airline employee is referred to as an 'airline brat', and my sister and I lived it up traveling all over the world First Class, often sitting next to celebs, pro-athletes and CEO's of large companies. Those stories are a blog of their own but let's just say George Steinbrener put the hot and heavy moves on my Mom once on a flight from Vegas, and I had great flight experiences sitting next to Charles Barkley, Dennis Quaid, Richard Simmons and Lynn Swan, to name a few. Before I entered grade school, I had logged an average of 100k miles each year and found travel a wonderful experience to supplement my studies. Reading something in a text book is one thing, but living it is vastly different so I took full advantage.

 

To this day, I still travel as often as humanly possible - with careers and kids it makes travel a little more challenging, which is why most of my travels span only 72 hours, hence the title of this blog. I've become something of an expert on the 'quick hit' - the perfect 3 days (and sometimes only 2 or 1 day!). Seeing and experiencing other cities, other cultures, is one of my passions - the journey is the other. I hope you enjoy what you read!
