My Story
I am a food junkie and part-time chef. I live part of the year in California and part of the year in Palermo, Italy. I love sunshine, good food and fine wine.
My Travel Style
I love experiencing the local life when I travel. The people I meet, local food and history is why I love to travel. Depending on my destination, I decide whether I want to wine and dine in luxury or live like the locals so to speak.

Local's Guide to Palermo, Sicily
Located on the northwestern coast of Sicily, Palermo is a beautiful multicultural city, and the capital. In addition to being infused with tradition and culture, the city is also filled with beautiful ancient buildings, monuments and historical neighborhoods.
The best way to experience Palermo is to walk through the historical district. There you will find tiny, almost maze-like, streets that lead to restaurants, cafes and markets where you can enjoy Sicilian-style gastronomy at its finest. In the heart of the city's historical center, you will find beautiful buildings reflecting both Arab and Norman style architecture.
While I have lived in Palermo for over 20 years, it still amazes me that on any given day, as I walk through the historical center or throughout the city, I still discover something new and beautiful. But what I love best about Palermo, is that even though it is a big city, it offers everyone a small town feeling of welcoming hospitality.
