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.

My 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.

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.

From the very beginning, Samantha takes the time to truly understand you—your travel style, preferences, pace, and even the little things that make a trip feel special. She doesn’t just book hotels and tours; she curates an experience. Every recommendation reflects thoughtfulness and insight, and it’s clear she puts serious care into every detail.

Samantha is incredible. She is great at her job and really listened to me. She took the stress out of creating the perfect vacation and just did it for me! She recommended experiences I didn’t even think about like driving vintage Fiats through Tuscany. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to travel and I will definitely work with her again in the future.

Samantha is excellent! She found fantastic hotels and experiences for our trip. She is very quick to respond and collaborative on the itinerary to take into account our feedback or ideas. She was very helpful when we had questions and was genuinely kind and enthusiastic throughout our months planning together.
