ABOUT
For starters, I am a passionate digital nomad constantly stuck between Seattle and Rome. One who has an insatiable thirst to inspire others to discover everything "Il bel paese" has to offer. Fluent in Italian and deeply rooted in the culture, I craft bespoke luxury travel trips with a local heart. I blend authentic culture, delicious cuisine, and high-end stays for unforgettable adventures. Let me guide you through 'l'italianità, ' the true essence of Italy. My lifelong love affair with Italy started as a child immersed around a devoutly passionate Italian grandfather and a mother who played operatic classics from Pavarotti to Bocelli since I was in my crib. I entered university only a few years after my grandfather's passing, and, with the influence of my Italian professor, I took the leap to live and study in Rome. Ever since then, I have dedicated the last seven years of my life to perfecting my language skills, traveling to almost every Italian region, and reconnecting with my roots in an even more sentimental way than I had ever imagined possible. That said, I like the finer things in life. Still, I also enjoy venturing into uncharted territory beyond my comfort zone to discover the essence of any cultural context I find myself in. However, I did not fully take the dive into pursuing this passion as a full-time vocation until April 2024, when I sold my previous business venture as an exit plan and entered a new stage of my life. I would love to dedicate my time to a venture that truly inspires me every day! My ultimate goal is to use my knowledge and passion to guide you on an Italian adventure that is not only magical but also an experience that will infect you with a yearning for "I'talianità" (the Italian spirit) that can only be tasted, heard, seen, and felt by seeing it for yourself over and over again.
