I Consider Myself A Tourist of the World

Hey There!

I’m Merry, and I’m so glad you made it to my lifestyle blog, Let’s Be Merry! However you got here, I’m super excited.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself.

One of my biggest passions is exploring. Whether traveling abroad, checking out a neighborhood close to home, trying a new restaurant, or completing an intensive yoga teacher training, I love learning and making new discoveries. And even more, I have always loved sharing what I learn and discover with my family, friends, and anyone willing to listen to me. 🙂

My Background

My career in television as a director and producer has given me incredible opportunities. I’ve explored the world with House Hunters International, worked closely with designers on home renovation shows at HGTV, featured Olympic athletes for NBC Sports, and ate my heart out on The Rachael Ray Show. After years of collecting amazing experiences, I want to share them with you.

And so, Let’s Be Merry was born. Whether it’s travel, food, wellness, design, or general inspiration, my goal is to share recommendations, tips, and advice that will resonate with your life and be easy to incorporate into your lifestyle.

My Life at Home

I currently live in Brooklyn with my husband Prash, our rescue dog Archie, and our three rescue cats, Lucky, Maggie, and Gizmo. (Can you tell we are animal lovers?!) We are hoping to expand our family soon (with humans, not animals!) and are about to embark on a big home renovation. I’ll be sharing more about that on the blog.

I consider myself a tourist of the world and a frequent adventure-seeker in my own city. My favorite thing is to collect and share memorable experiences with the people I love. So, I hope you enjoy what you see on the Let’s Be Merry blog.

But most importantly, remember to embrace life’s simple pleasures: eat, drink, and be merry!
