Hi, I'm Desirée.
Traveler • Reader • Writer • Cocktailier
I love to create and connect, inspire and intrigue, through words, music, ingredients, and style.
Currently based in DC, I am a former diplomat and career communications professional collecting memories, books, vintage style and objects, cocktail recipes and secret bar experiences around the world.
Through my travels, writing, and other content, I seek to share my perspective and experience to expand connection and belonging.
