My Story
Ciao! I am a passionate digital nomad constantly stuck between Seattle and Rome. One who has an insatiable thirst to inspire others to discover everything "Il bel paese" has to offer.
Fluent in Italian and deeply rooted in the culture, I craft bespoke luxury travel trips with a local heart. I blend authentic culture, delicious cuisine and high-end stays for unforgettable adventures. Let me guide you through 'l'italianità, "the true essence of Italy."
My Travel Style
My lifelong love affair with Italy started as a child immersed around a devoutly passionate Italian grandfather and a mother who played operatic classics from Pavarotti to Bocelli since I was in my crib.
I entered university only a few years after my grandfather's passing and along with my Italian professor's influence, I took the leap to live and study in Rome.
Ever since then, I have dedicated the last seven years of my life to traveling to almost every Italian region and reconnecting with my roots in an even more sentimental way than I had ever imagined possible.
That said, I like the finer things in life, but I also enjoy venturing into uncharted territory beyond my comfort zone to discover the true essence of the cultural context in which I find myself.
My ultimate goal is to use my knowledge and passion to guide you on an Italian adventure that is not only magical but an experience that will infect you with a yearning for "I'talianità" that can only be tasted, heard, seen and felt by seeing it for yourself over and over again.

Where To Eat the Best Pasta in Rome
Rome is like a second home to me and I truly believe it offers not only one of the best culinary traditions in all of Italy, however, it is home to quite possibly the widest array of iconic Italian pasta dishes! Allow me the pleasure of steering you away from the typical "tourist traps" around the city and redirecting your attention to some of my local favorites. As they say, "when in Rome, do as the Romans do!"
