I believe, for the price of a hotel room night, you can become any person you choose.  By choosing a hotel carefully, you can become an actor, a writer, a scientist, a CEO, a fashion designer, or disappear completely. Or you might access different parts of your personality, such as fearlessness and boldness, by staying at certain places.  

I have been completely obsessed with hotels since I can remember, growing up to dress the part and "lobby stalk."  From this obsession grew a career that I have fought for and created for myself, as a hotel and travel blogger.

I also assist Travel Channel star Kirsten Gum with her new healthy living retreats, contribute to aSmallWorld and my own blog, Hotel Belle and lead one tour a month of Brooklyn Heights, a beautiful New York neighborhood just over the Brooklyn Bridge.
