Custom Italy Vacations for Couples and Families Who Want Culture Brought to Life
I help couples and families plan trips that explore Italy's cultural richness, make thoughtful recommendations for elevated experiences, and ensure everything runs smoothly. I also plan trips across Mediterranean Europe to Greece, Spain, and Portugal.
What This Kind of Travel Feels Like
Travel in Mediterranean Europe is about more than checking sights off a list. It’s about experiencing places in a way that feels connected and meaningful.
That might mean lingering over meals, exploring walkable towns, understanding the stories behind historic sites, or slowing the pace enough to actually enjoy where you are. The goal isn’t to see everything — it’s to experience what matters most to you.
This is travel shaped by curiosity, shared moments, and time well spent.
How I Help You Plan Well
Planning a trip like this can feel overwhelming — not because there aren’t enough options, but because there are too many.
That’s where I come in.
As your travel advisor, I help you
- Decide what’s worth prioritizing based on your interests and travel style
- Make thoughtful recommendations for elevated experiences when they add real value
- Avoid common planning pitfalls that can detract from the trip
- Handle trip logistics in a way that keeps the focus on the experience
Destinations I Plan Most Often
My travel planning speciality is Mediterranean Europe — places where history, food, local traditions, and everyday life shape how travel feels. I focus primarily on Italy and also plan trips to Greece, Spain, and Portugal.
Every itinerary is shaped around the people traveling and what they want to experience.
