Living in Rome just steps away from Vatican City was the start of my lifelong love affair with Europe. During my time abroad, I immersed myself in Italian culture, exploring Rome’s hidden corners, enjoying weekends in Florence, Turin, Milan, and Venice, and discovering the coastal beauty of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. Those months taught me not just how to travel, but how to experience a destination deeply, whether through food, history, or the people you meet along the way.
My adventures didn’t stop in Italy. I’ve had the chance to experience much of Europe firsthand, each destination leaving its own impression. I spent extended time in Paris, gaining a feel for both the city’s iconic highlights and its local neighborhoods. I celebrated Oktoberfest in Munich, cruised Amsterdam’s canals, admired the lakes and mountains of Lucerne, soaked in the energy of Madrid and Lisbon, and embraced the laid-back charm of Nice. Each city came with its own rhythm and challenges, whether it was learning how to navigate public transportation, finding authentic dining, or stretching a budget without missing the must-see experiences.
Because of these travels, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to make the most out of European adventures, especially when time or budget is limited. I know how to help travelers prioritize what matters most to them, whether that’s art and culture, local cuisine, history, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, while also leaving room for those spontaneous moments that often become the highlight of a trip.
As a travel advisor, I love bringing that perspective into the planning process. Europe can feel overwhelming with so many incredible destinations close together, but I guide my clients in choosing the right mix of places and pacing so that their trip feels immersive rather than rushed. Whether you’re dreaming of a first trip to Italy, a multi-country adventure, or a deep dive into a single city, I can help you navigate it with confidence and ease.
For me, Europe will always be a second home, and I’m passionate about sharing the insights I’ve gained to help others experience the same magic, whether you’re traveling solo, as a group, or with family.
