Venice, Italy

I design travel experiences inspired by both the quiet, everyday moments and the vibrant energy of new places. Whether it's savoring a peaceful morning coffee in a hidden café, wandering through bustling markets, or pausing on a park bench to soak in your surroundings, I believe the beauty of travel is found in both the ordinary and the unexpected. My approach is deeply personal and always flexible, shaped by the unique rhythm of each destination and the individual dreams of every traveler I work with.

Having explored more than fifty countries, specializing in the diverse Adriatic region, I draw from a tapestry of memories to design journeys that go beyond sightseeing, focusing instead on how a place makes you feel.

I’m passionate about noticing the small details that make each adventure unforgettable, from the aroma of fresh rain on ancient cobblestone streets in Italy, to watching the mist slowly lift from the mountains in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro. If you're ready to embark on a new adventure, let's collaborate to design a travel experience that is as unique and memorable as you are.

Highlights of the Adriatic:

Gjirokastër, Albania: beloved for its massive open-air bazaar, fortified Ottoman-era houses, and its delicious regional cuisine.

Kotor, Montenegro: enjoy the Ladder of Kotor, a peaceful hike to St John’s Fortress, with impressive views of the bay.

Logar Valley, Slovenia: marvel at one of the most beautiful alpine glacial valleys in Europe. 

Orvieto, Italy: relax in this charming, medieval town while sipping a glass of Orvieto wine and admiring the beauty of the Umbrian countryside.
