My Story
I first fell in love with travel while studying in Rome, a passion that grew as I lived in Florence and spent extended periods exploring Italy. I spent over a decade working in fashion, PR, and luxury event production—including working for Prada and other global luxury houses—which shaped my eye for design as I moved between New York’s creative world and the iconic runways of Milan. Italy is where my passion lives, and I bring that same energy, creativity, and personal touch to every itinerary across Italy, the Western Mediterranean, and beyond.
Travel Style
I plan with energy, intuition, and joy—creating journeys that feel inspiring, effortless, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a honeymoon, solo adventure, couple’s escape, or a large group celebration, my goal is always the same: for your trip to feel exciting from the very first idea and to leave you feeling inspired long after you’re back home.

Really got to know me, my needs, and my preferences. Although this was a little bit out of my comfort zone, it was exactly the type of new experience I needed.

Samantha was amazing and absolutely everything I was looking for in a travel planner. Not only did she help me go through multiple itineraries before landing on a final plan, she also helped by now fiance plan a surprise proposal in Vienna! Samantha was there any time we reached out, even when that was on Christmas or New Years. I have already requested her help in planning some additional family vacations and will continue to work with Samantha in the future!

Samantha made getting ready for this trip so easy. Very communicative and transparent on every detail that you are wanting and that has been provided. Full of knowledge and recommendations on whatever city you choose. This was our first time using a travel advisor and it made my wife and I’s one year anniversary a simple, easy, and memorable trip that we will talk about forever!

Sam created an amazing trip for us! Her selections and attention to detail made the trip seamless. We loved all of her recommendations and if she ever suggests working with a local guide - do it! I can’t wait to organize our next bucket list trip with her.
