My Story
Between life in Hawai‘i and Italy, I’m happiest near the water or exploring a new corner of the world!
Travel Style
I’ve spent the past several years living between Hawai‘i and Italy, exploring the world through solo travel and local connection. My approach to trip planning is simple—thoughtful, personal, and stress-free. I know what it’s like to navigate everything from boutique stays to hidden beaches, and I love helping others experience the same sense of ease and authenticity in their travels.
