Historical Salem and Peabody Essex Museum (Day Trip from Boston)

I've called Boston home for more than a decade, and one of my favorite things is helping visitors discover the city beyond the guidebooks. I'm currently a PhD candidate studying artificial intelligence, and my work sits at the intersection of technology, creativity, and culture. Outside of academia, I'm a working artist whose practice spans collage, sculpture, conceptual art, and creative technology. I also create visual performances for events and parties, DJ, and participate actively in Boston and Cambridge's art and technology communities. Because of these experiences, I'm especially interested in the people, ideas, and creative movements that shape cities. Whether we're discussing revolutionary history, public art, scientific innovation, neighborhood change, or contemporary culture, I enjoy connecting the stories of the past with the forces shaping Boston today. My tours are thoughtful, conversational, and personalized rather than scripted or fast-paced. I enjoy creating space for questions, discussion, and curiosity, and many guests tell me they appreciate how relaxed and engaging the experience feels. I believe the best tours feel less like a lecture and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend. Whether you're visiting Boston for the first time, in town for a conference, or looking for a deeper understanding of the city's creative and intellectual life, I'd love to share some of my favorite places, stories, and perspectives with you.
