Plan For Me Dani
New Pro
Lives in Philadelphia, PA, USA
My name is Danielle and I have been planning trips for the past 10 years. One thing special and unique about my guides is that I am not producing guides that I didn't currently use myself. The places in my guides are places I have been, the itineraries are itineraries that I have personally followed. Everything is real and I have vetted myself. My travel planning story started with a honeymoon to Italy and since then it has grown each and every year. I love all kinds of travel! It's hard to fine a niche because I fit into so many categories. I love nature, hiking, and being outdoors. I love beaches and sunsets and sipping wine and cocktails in pretty places. I love learning about people and cultures and history. I love street art and busy cities and I also love small towns and quieter places. I will sleep in a hostel and I enjoy a beautiful hotel. I love South and Central America and I am obsessed with Europe. I've been to Asia twice and hope to get back in the next few years. I love to eat and one thing you'll always get from me are true and great reviews of places that I've personally eaten! I have just returned from Albania and I am working on guides from that trip! My full time job is as a School Leader of Social and Emotional Learning in Philadelphia. All my travel is done on school breaks and in the summer. I have still managed to visit over 36 countries and countless cities along the way. Being a teacher my whole life is about planning and I do believe I am exceptional at it. I work VERY hard to plan incredible trips and now you can hopefully benefit from that as well!

Tiffany Parks
Lives in Rome, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Italy
Although born and raised in the US, I have lived in Rome nearly half my life. For me, this city is a muse, an inspiration, and a constant source of discovery. As a tour guide, I have spent over 15 years sharing the marvels of Rome with countless visitors, and as a travel consultant, I create detailed customized itineraries to help eager travelers discover Rome and Italy on a deeper level. My passion is helping travelers create unforgettable experiences, going beyond the “top ten” sights and truly exploring what makes a city unique: its culture, art, history, food, and people. My knowledge of Rome is deep and complex: I can tell you where to find the hidden masterpieces far off the beaten track, offer practical tips such as when to visit the Vatican to avoid the crowds, show you how to make the best of the city when traveling with children, and let you in on the Roman restaurants only the locals know! I have also traveled Italy from top to toe, and can offer in-depth advice that will help you craft your dream Italian vacation. In addition to being a Rome-expert, I’m also an avid traveler. My greatest adventures have included sailing the Strait of Malacca from Thailand to Malaysia, backpacking solo the entire length of India, deep-sea diving off the coast of Sumatra, criss-crossing Europe on a hunt for Caravaggio paintings, and road-tripping down the Pacific Coast Highway with my husband and little boy. Come with me on a deeper discovery of Rome and other fascinating Italian destinations, or replicate one of my own travel itineraries to places around Europe and beyond. PS I’m also a writer and a podcaster! Check out my podcast The Bittersweet Life for weekly conversations about the expat life, or read my book, Midnight in the Piazza, an art mystery set in Rome!

Alecia Caine - Sweet Life Italy
Lives in Guardia Sanframondi, Province of Benevento, Italy
I discovered my passion for Italy as a young woman traveling thru the country where my grandmother grew up. I fell in love with the language, the food, the people and all things Italian. I guess you could say Italy is my soul mate. For my 50th birthday, after having raised two sons as a single mother, I bought myself an apartment in a medieval village in Southern Italy. My life changed and I created Sweet Life Italy, a boutique niche tour company to share my love of the Italian way of life, especially in the South, with its amazing scenery, down to earth food and the friendliest people on earth. I created Sweet Life Italy to inspire women to savor pleasure and rediscover their passions, awaken their senses and follow their dreams. I offer you the experience of discovering Italy through your senses, indulging in the tastes and textures that surround you.. Take time for time and attune to the local rhythm and energy of Italy while savoring the food, wines, music, art and beauty of Italy. Lounge in cafes, learn to make pasta by hand with the grandmothers, picnic amongst the grape vines on delicacies grown near the local villages. I am fortunate to enjoy very close relationships with the locals so I can offer travelers very unique experiences up close and personal, not like a tourist. I specialize in organizing your dream trip to Italy in the following locations: Naples, Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany, Campania, Gaeta, Amalfi Coast, Ischia and Guardia Sanframondi including transportation, accommodations, guided tours, cooking classes with the nonnas, wine tasting, foodie, history, art, nature tours.

Lauren Caramico
Lives in Palermo, PA, Italy
An Italian-American from Brooklyn, former NY ad exec turned expat, I left everything I had behind to start a new life here in Italy. And now I am finally doing something meaningful and that I love - connecting those visiting Italy to the most authentic people, places and passionate local experts, making sure their experience is as authentic as it is unique and unforgettable. I created my unique travel service so people can discover Italy for REAL (hence the name I chose "davvero" (which loosely translates to "really" or "for real" in Italian) Davvero Italy is slow travel & sustainable tourism redefined, promoting respectful and responsible travel that is low impact. Where you're not only supporting Italian local businesses but in some cases helping the actual towns in which they live in - and every interaction is a positive one where meaningful connections are made for a lifetime. Experience Italy not only through the eyes of a local but actually with locals. This is the only way to discover the heart and soul of the country – by interacting with the natives and having them introduce you to their home. This is Italy - for real. I am passionate about all things Italian...especially when it comes to food & drink. When I'm not roaming around Italy to check out new people & places, I'm writing about it on my Davvero Blog. I’ve also managed to become part of the close-knit and beautiful bar community in Rome and Italy, which is another project I am working on currently…
