I am your trip designer, your expert curator and your trusted advisor.

I guide you into deeply considering the kind of experience you want to have. Do you want to visit Rome and Positano, or do you want something less expected?  When planning a trip to Italy there are endless options and choices to be made. If you don’t make the right ones, you can end up on a trip you didn’t really want.

I introduce you to places you might not have considered, help you find the hotel that makes your heart soar, support you in ironing out the complex logistics of moving through the country and provide recommendations and tips along the way. I can help you from start to finish, project managing your trip and keeping you on track until your bag is packed and you are on your way.

I am not a travel agent. That means I’m not motivated by commissions earned through hotels or excursion companies, so my advice is unbiased. It’s based on my experience, discernment, and knowledge. I know what’s good and what works.

Because I’m not a travel agent, the booking transactions for your hotels, transport and excursions are completed by you. You preserve the flexibility and control of booking directly (which is helpful for refunds, loyalty status, price-matching, and making last minute changes, etc.), while still receiving expertly curated recommendations and itineraries.

Instead of collecting commissions, I charge a fee for bespoke planning services.

Years of travel to Italy have taught me that the choices made early in the planning stage are the most important. For that reason, I recommended starting work with a consultant as early as possible. That said, I can also help polish an itinerary that’s already partially built.

Yes! I am very passionate about this, having spent a good deal of time traveling through Italy on my own. I have endless encouragement and advice to offer women who are considering going on their own.

My service is focused on Italy because I know it so well. (Though I’m always happy to talk about incorporating the South of France into your trip because I love it there, too).

There most certainly is. If you trust the sources and have time to sift through all the information to create a cohesive itinerary from it, that’s great. If not, let’s plan together.
