My Story
I am a curious traveler and love historic details. Traveling is my passion. When I travel somewhere new, I like to dig into the small and unique details. I’ve traveled with my children, my extended family and friends. My friends and family have always asked for my advice on what to do and where to stay when they travel. I am excited to put my passion into making forever memories for others!
My Travel Style
I'm primarily focused on boutique hotels that are in the center of major European cities as well as house rentals. I love to work with people to understand their objectives and plan accordingly.

A Journey Through Italy’s Best: Rome, Siena & Venice
Italian culture and customs are like no other, drawing individuals all around the world to this country where people seem to simply live better. And still, eating a tartufo at Tre Scalini in the Piazza Navona in Rome, partaking in the festivities surrounding the annual Il Palio horse race in Siena and walking up the steps of Scala Contarini del Bovolo in Venice are all unique experiences and not well-known tourist stops. All of these sites combined with local cuisine make for a unique excursion. Off-the-beaten-path sites such as the peephole at Piazza Mattei (a surprise awaits) in Rome and a boat ride to Torcello off the coast of Venice are locations that most tourists do not see. This guide will take you walking through these three marvelous cities to experience unknown sites along the way.

The Oldest Horse Race in Italy: Il Palio in Siena, Italy
I absolutely love Italy and have spent a lot of time visiting small towns and attending unique events. Siena, an ancient and walled city in Italy, is a great place to visit for the day or for a few nights as you travel and tour the little towns of Tuscany. As the summer progresses, a special and unique horse race is poised to take place on July 2, 2022 and again on August 16, 2022. In fact, every year since 1701, Il Palio is run annually around the Piazza del Campo, the main square in the center of town and is Italy’s oldest horse race. This is a race between all 17 districts (contrade) in Siena. There are 17 contrade in Siena and each contrada has a horse that runs in the race. For days up until the race, parties start and a lottery is held to pick 10 contrade who will run bareback 3 times around the piazza. Each contrada, or team, has a lot of history, its own flag and each is generally associated with a family.
