Ciao! Ciao in Italian means both hello and goodbye. Did you know that ‘Ciao’ is the modern version of an ancient word that had a different meaning? You could probably learn it if you travel to Italy.I was born and raised in Northern Italy, not far from the border with France. After I got my diploma in Tourism, I worked in different travel companies, in hotels, and summer resorts. Last job I had in Italy, before I moved to the United States, was at the booking department of the biggest Italian Tour Operator, where I worked for 10 years. I liked it very much and I had the chance to travel around the world and to some of the destinations more than twice!It is very fascinating to work with travelers that want to learn more about European culture and discover new places. 80% of the clients I had in the past were couples that liked traveling independently, use local means of transportation and had local guides to walk around the cities. I also worked with several groups of friends and families hopping from city to city in Europe and many travelers that had more than 7 days of vacation and wanted to travel outside of the big cities and discover the small towns. Being able to customize any kind of travel helps me to understand the traveler’s needs and desires of what everyone wants to experience in a different country. Since I have more than 20 years of experience in planning and selling trips, I can help you to find the right experience that you were looking for. If you like biking or hiking, I can plan from 1 to 7 days of biking tour or hiking tour in Europe, or if you’d like to learn how to cook a traditional meal, I can set a cooking class in Tuscan Villa or on a traditional farm. If you have a passion for fast cars, you should try a Ferrari tour in Italy, where you drive the latest model of Ferrari or Lamborghini in the beautiful scenery of the Italian landscapes. For the wine lovers, Italy and France offer so many options where you will be able to taste the best of both world!Adding a cruise to your itinerary will give you the chance to enjoy the amenities of a 5-star hotel and wake up every day in a different town or country. Other than the traditional trip, I also can arrange a Cruise for you, your family, and your friends. Booking your cruise with me means more than just reserving a cabin — it’s about having a trusted travel partner by your side. I take care of the details, customize your trip to match your preferences, and make sure you get the best value with exclusive perks. From pre- and post-cruise stays to tailored excursions, I’ll handle everything so you can simply relax and enjoy your journey at sea. From a family reunion to a honeymoon, your will have a fantastic experience!
I LOVE TRAVELING
Traveling is one of the greatest joys of my life because it opens the door to discovery — of the world and of myself. Every trip is a chance to step into a new story, whether it’s wandering through historic streets, tasting flavors I’ve never tried before, or meeting people whose perspectives enrich my own. I love how travel brings me a sense of freedom, curiosity, and wonder; it reminds me how beautifully diverse the world is. Each journey leaves me with memories that stay forever, and with every destination, I return home with a little more knowledge, gratitude, and inspiration.
