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.

Danielle Cohen
Lives in Florence, Metropolitan City of Florence, Italy
Ciao! My name is Danielle and I'm a Californian from San Diego, who's been living full time in Florence, Italy since 2020. I studied in Florence in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with the food, culture, and history, and made it my mission to move back. I moved right before the pandemic, and staying here through all the lockdowns and pandemic life really helped me discover slow travel and find all of Italy's beauty, including lesser known gems, and off the beaten path travel spots. During my three years in Florence, I have wrote for publications like The Florentine, done freelance marketing with restaurants and a travel agency, giving me high insight into the best destinations, foodie spots, and more. I am here to help you make the most of your vacation in Italy with curated itineraries for every type of traveler and digital maps to help you enjoy THE BEST food each region has to offer. Let me do the work so you can just relax and enjoy, without any stress! I've had a very unique experience living in Italy the last 4 years, as I made my official move right before the pandemic, after visiting for years. Because of this I learned to travel locally and deeply throughout the numerous incredible destinations in Italy and for that I cater my travel services to finding the most local and mindful experiences, keeping true to discovering and appreciating Italy's culture.

Kristina| kristinavstheworld
Lives in Belgrade, Србија
Hi, my name is Kristina and I am an adventurer passionate about slow travel. I’ve dedicated the last 5 years of my life to exploring the world, and gaining wider understanding on travel planning-especially budget friendly one! As I prioritize slow travel, I have chosen moving away from my homeland Serbia, and have spent 1 and a half year in New York, 6 months in San Francisco and around 2 years in Madrid. During my stay, I have done as much of traveling as possible, using up my days off, weekends and public holidays. I’ve joined this amazing platform in order to share my passion for my favorite places, as well as all the knowledge I have gained along the way. I will be sharing my favorite itineraries, budget tips, cultural insights, best coffee, places to eat, cool activites, and more. I can help you add the element of the authentic, local experience while abroad, and be of great help to different types of travelers, especially those with tighter budgets, traveling solo or studying\volunteering abroad. I specialize in Spain, though I am not limited to it, as I’ve had a lot of experience in travel while living abroad, where I have independently planned each and every one of my adventures. Hence, I am looking forward to helping you have the bestest time by taking care of that heavy planning part, so that you can fully enjoy your stay. I can help you out in 3 languages – Serbian , English and Spanish, so don’t hesitate to contact me!

The people, places and experiences were one of a kind, and those amazing adventures-fueled my passion for travel and new experiences. After all, ringing in the new year on the streets of Rome with complete strangers is pretty amazing! My mission is to inspire people who have never traveled before- to take that leap, and land in another country . Whether you are alone or well accompanied - you can do it . I would love to introduce you to the vibrant and complex world of wines .To the amazing bouquet and taste profile of a young red wine from beaujalais , or a whitefrom Raix Baixes, there is a wine for everyone.

Kimberly Lynn
Lives in New York, NY, USA
Hi, I'm Kimber! I'm a full time traveler and digital nomad working as a Content Creator + Online Teacher. I am very passionate about helping others step out of the their comfort zones and explore more! My friends joke and say that my motto is "Adventure is out there!" When I’m not traveling or working from my laptop, you'll find me hiking, working out, practicing yoga or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. I love sunsets, sipping coconuts on the beach and sharing food + drinks out with friends. My bucket list is basically endless <3 But my story is much more than this. I grew up in a small town in New Jersey and didn't travel much as a kid or teenager. In fact, I didn't get a passport until I was 23! At that time, I went on my first adventure overseas - a solo trip to volunteer in Tanzania, Africa. Some might say I'm crazy for doing that, but I am only grateful. It changed my life for the better. It inspired me to build a life that prioritizes travel! I know that we are meant for so much more than unfulfilling jobs or careers, dreaming and wondering and wishing things could be different. If you've ever wanted a different kind of life, one filled with adventure, then you're in the right place! I'm here to help you make that your reality! So thank you for being here! What you can expect to find are guides from my favorite places around the world along with tips for working with brands as a Content Creator if that's something you are inspired to try! Feel free to contact me for custom itineraries and travel consultations as well! See you out there! ☼ Email: wholistictraveler@gmail.com Instagram: @wholistictraveler
