My Story

A curious traveler and empty-nester turned travel advisor, I’ve got a lifelong passion for Italy and the Mediterranean region. With a Masters in Food Studies, my joy is exploring regional foodways, cooking with the locals, and finding the best bites, whether down a hidden side street or a country road. A well-curated (culinary) itinerary can make for deluxe memories, whether it starts with a boutique hotel or a humble farm stay. I’m hungry for the world and eager to share it with you.

Travel Style

When creating a trip, I prize authentic experiences that offer the opportunity to slow down and really get to know a destination. I love building a well-organized itinerary where every detail is considered so you can delight in the journey without the stress. You’re likely to find me learning to stretch mozzarella, soaking in natural hot springs, people-watching in a piazza, or hiking a coastal nature preserve. Agriturismi, cooking classes, farm and producer tours, and bike rides through the countryside—I consider these some key elements of an unfussy and unforgettable travel experience. If you like a mellow mix of hands-on adventure, guided cultural tours, and peaceful connection with the natural world, you’re a kindred spirit. Let’s find what’s beautiful, sustainable, and delicious together!
