As an experienced and passionate Italy Trip & Tour Designer, Travel Writer, Blogger, Advisor, and Published Author, my passion and expertise is creating authentic, unique, boutique itineraries and experiences with trusted local destination experts… for YOU!
There are many reasons why I, like so many others, love Italy. For the obvious reasons, of course – her art and history, the food and cuisine, the people…
♥ Italy is my passion, my muse, my heart and it’s, literally, in my blood! Not only do I love traveling to Bella Italia but I love helping others plan their “la dolce vita” vacation.
I’ve been traveling to Italy for many years but it’s in the past six years that I have been returning more frequently and in depth, exploring and immersing in many of her beautiful cities, towns and regions. But my list remains long! For me, Italy is a treasure trove!
My philosophy has been and remains:
Cercare. Gustare. Amare…con Passione!
(Seeking. Savoring. Loving…with Passion!)
I’ve traveled solo/independently, with friends, and as a tour guest and tour leader. I’ve stayed in B&B’s, agriturismi and masserie (restored working farm stays), apartments, villas, hotels, private homes… in cities, in the country, in tiny villages (borghi) and medieval hill towns.
I’ve enjoyed fabulous traditional cooking classes, olive oil and cheese tastings, wine tastings (of course!), guided walks, and artisan visits. I’ve been amazed and lost myself in so many phenomenal museums, cathedrals, and ancient ruins…
The more I see and experience, the more I want to see and experience! And the more I want to share with you!

Not only do I love re-visiting places and friends that I’ve made along the
way but I love the experience of visiting and forming new friendships. Having just returned from fabulous five weeks visiting six regions, I am inspired and excited to “roll out” new ways for YOU to enjoy “la dolce vita”!
Si, my wish and desire is for YOU to experience the Italy and the people of Italy that I love!
Together we will create YOUR personalized Italy vacation!

Have you ever done anything in Calabria?
Ciao Peter- no, only Messina a few years ago but heading back south next week to Puglia so stay tuned!
Where in Puglia . Im fro the Bari region of Puglia . Have you had trips to the Gargano region of Puglia ?
Ciao Carlo!
The tour is in the Salento sub-region so, at this time we don’t do tours of the Gargano region. However,
if you would like some info or contacts, I can refer you?
Here is the link to the highlights of the tour I offer: Head Over HeelZ in Puglia!
I appreciate you stopping by and commenting, Carlo!

Ciao Carlo! I visited Bari last May, and it was one of the most memorable trips ever! Bari is
beautiful, and the people are the most friendly I have encountered. Bari is not frequented
regularly by tourist, as the people often told me. I think it should be, because it’s a part of Italy worth visiting.
Hi Victoria,
next time you’ll fly in or out MXP airport, I’m waiting for you, 30 minutes from the Airport

Thank you for the invitation Marco!
Hello! I’m hoping to plan a trip in 2022!
Fabulous Dorie!
Now is a good time to start since so many have had to postpone their plans (sometimes several times) and now 2022 is THE target
for travel here.

We are two couples that are planning a trip to Florence next May (21-28). Looking for a nice hotel tat would be walking distance to most of the sites and restaurants. Also, need a local guide to explore day trips from Florence to visit the small unique towns and winners in the area. Maybe you could recommend some names. Thanks
Ciao Warren!
Thank you for reaching out – yes, I can certainly make recommendations for you and your friends. If you could please send me a private

Looking forward to hearing from you…
