My Story
I have been enamored with travel since childhood. As a former educator, I'm driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to expand horizons & foster a deeper understanding of the human experience.
My Travel Style
Guided tours, solo adventures, volunteering abroad, family getaways — I'm up for it all. Planning a trip for others is just as thrilling to me as taking a trip. Though I never decline an invite!

Rose asked us questions to determine what we might want to do then offered suggestions about things to do/see. She put together a busy fun filled itinerary and left nothing out. Besides the booking of excursions Rose offered an insider’s perspective of “other” things to do and see. Rose made us feel like her priority … She kept communication open and was attentive and prompt to answer all questions. I WILL USE Rose for my future trip planning.
Thank you Rose. You made our family trip a memory for a lifetime.

We had a wonderful time (of course we did!). The accommodations were wonderful and all the locations were perfect. We really liked Rome and all the history, and we also really enjoyed the cooking class we did in Taormina. Rose was very attentive and responsive immediately when necessary…I would use FORA and Rose for future travel plans.

Rose is great. She just seems to know how to match the trip to what you like. She's very knowledgeable about Italy and makes excellent recommendations. She's easy to work with and did an amazing job of planning our trip. She took care of every detail; we didn't have to think because she had us covered. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and can't wait to plan the next one with Rose.

From the start of the planning of this trip through to the very end Rose Manganell had excellent communication and planned the perfect trip with some excellent side trips. She went out of her way to make the trip a memory of a lifetime. Every need was met and even things you would not think you needed were taken care of. I would definitely book all my future travel with Rose.

3 Weeks in Italy: A Perfect Blend of Cities, Coastlines, and Countryside
This three-week journey through Italy was the perfect mix of learning, leisure, and cultural exploration. From the Renaissance splendor of Florence to the breezy coastlines of Monterosso al Mare and the timeless charm of hill towns like Orvieto and Montepulciano, each destination offered its own distinct atmosphere. Traveling at a slower pace allowed me to go beyond the usual tourist trail and connect more deeply with the rhythm of daily life, through language study, local experiences, and plenty of regional food and wine.

Wonders of Rome and Sorrento
Italy holds a special place in my heart. Being there allows me to connect with my ancestral roots and truly be myself. I've been fortunate enough to visit my great-grandfather's birthplace and meet distant relatives who still reside in Italy. From the moment I set foot in the country many years ago, I fell in love! I have a mission to explore every corner of it. Learning the language is also on my agenda, although I must admit I am a beginner, at best. Recently, I embarked on a remarkable journey titled "Wonders of Rome and Sorrento". I designed this itinerary for my friends and family who were visiting for the first time and asked me to show them some of my favorite places! Below is a brief overview along with some of our photos.

A Taste of Sicily
Sicily is more than a destination for me, it is also a connection to my family and traditions. The breathtaking vistas, unique culture and history, incredible food and welcoming people create an unforgettable and magical experience.
