You deserve to travel in Italy with confidence, and I'm here to help! My name is Bridget, and over the past decade I've been to Italy as a student, au pair, solo traveler, and personal tour guide and have spent a collective 14 months living & traveling across the country from Sicily up to the Dolomites. I've learned a lot along the way and I'm excited to help you plan your own visit! The guides and services you will find here are the product of - extensive personal travel - trial and error - research and logistics - cultural immersion More importantly, they are designed by a fellow traveler who knows that "small problems" in a foreign country can snowball into BIG setbacks emotionally, logistically, and financially. I'm here to help you make strategic choices so you can avoid the "small problems" - like wondering where to buy a bus ticket - and spend more time enjoying the trip! Whether you're a solo female traveler seeking safe and accessible destinations, a family with young kids, or an older adventurer looking to re-learn how to travel in the age of smartphones, I'm here to help you meet your goals. Feel free to explore my guides or schedule a call to start planning your trip!

I am a Southern California native, mother of two, military spouse and travel lover currently located in Naples, Italy. I’ve lived and visited many different places and I hope that my travels will help you plan your next great adventure! My guides focus on travel that the whole family can enjoy and feature some of the great places the military has sent us, as well as our own travels. Having lived in many different places, I have local knowledge of a wide variety of places. Two of my favorite recent travels are a month long family trip to Australia and Singapore and a multi-generational Caribbean cruise. I love that some of my kids first core memories will be of our international travels. It is so heart warming to watch them make friends at a foreign playground and having an interaction with a person that doesn’t speak their same language. Now, living in Italy we have many more opportunities for travel, both throughout Europe and locally near Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast. We have enjoyed discovering new foods, exploring language and culture. My youngest has an egg allergy that we manage so food and language intertwine often.
