Creating memorable experiences and unique discoveries is part of my lifestyle.
I am a professional travel planner who specializes in crafting customized international travel experiences.I have personally amply traveled throughout the world and visited 5 continents.
I am very familiar with spectacular destination and off the beaten bath location throughout Europe, South and Central America, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
I’ve been living in the US for over 27 years and I understand what the discerning North American customer is looking for when traveling.
My mother tongue is Italian however I also know, in addition to English, French, Spanish and German.
I grew up in Ticino, the Italian speaking canton of Switzerland and also lived for several years in the city of Zurich and in the Zug canton. As a Swiss native I know the culture and the languages of this beautiful country.
Growing up, I vacationed every summer in the heart of the southern Swiss Alps and went on numerous hikes and excursions to several mountains.
I’ve traveled extensively in Switzerland, I’ve skied in most of the world renowned ski mountains of this country and throughout Europe, and I am also very familiar with off the beaten path destinations.
I am also very familiar with Italy as I grew up right at the border of Italy.
As a child, with my family we also vacationed every summer on the Adriatic coast. During the mid 90’s through the early 2000, I’ve regularly vacationed for almost 10 years either in a small village next to the Cinque Terre or in the northern part of Trentino, right at border with Austria.
I currently visit both Switzerland and Italy yearly.
I also regularly visit Mexico, as it is only a short flight from Houston, for relaxing resort vacations especially on the Riviera Maya.
I am extremely detailed oriented and I will always go the extra length to make sure the client will be satisfied with the travel planning.
