Travel that Inspires...

Welcome to a different kind of travel experience - one that goes beyond typical tours to offer a meaningful connection to Italy’s rich cultural landscape.

I'm a travel specialist with a doctorate in the arts, a background in education, and a deep passion for Italy’s cultural heritage. Drawing on years of academic work, teaching, and family travel, I combine my knowledge of art, history and Italian culture with careful attention to detail to create experiences that go beyond traditional tourism.

Through custom trip planning and guided small group or private tours, I offer experiences tailored to your interests - whether you're exploring art and history, traveling with young children or multiple generations, or tracing ancestral roots. Each itinerary is thoughtfully designed to inspire curiosity, engage you in the richness of Italy, and create meaningful connections with local culture.

With a network of strong Italian connections and a focus on quality over quantity, my goal is to provide more than just travel: I offer experiences that leave you with lasting insights, not just a list of places visited.

Travel should change you. Let Italy inspire you in ways you never expected.
