Why I Never Stop Traveling and Exploring the World

I’ve been running cityHUNT for 25 years. And if there’s one thing that’s consistently fueled my creativity, kept ideas flowing, and made the work exciting—it’s travel. Not vacations. Not escapes. Travel as a way of seeing, thinking, and staying alive as an entrepreneur. My Happy Place This year alone, I’ve already been to New York and Miami—and I’m just getting started.
