Rob Faulkner has traveled extensively on a worldwide basis, in a wide variety of capacities. And, despite his best attempts to the contrary, he has managed to maintain a balanced perspective on each and every destination he encounters. Whether traveling first-class vs. back-of-the-bus, or sleeping 5-Star vs. jungle hammock, or dining Michelin-Star vs. pub fare, Faulkner approaches each scenario with equal voracity. The common denominator of his excursions is his propensity for immersing himself in the scenario at hand. While the odd Starbucks may creep into the mix, Faulkner gravitates toward the nuts-and-bolts of a given culture, as well as what makes it tick. It is this spirit of inquisitiveness that he now brings to his exploration of Northern Virginia Destinations—one of the most culturally and historically rich regions of the United States.
