Experienced Living in Italy

I have been in the Travel industry for more than 30 years with experience in many different facets. I began as a tour group leader and then graduated to Tour Manager. During my time exploring the world, I started planning the trips which eventually led me to getting certified as an Agent. I truly believe in the motto "Explore, Journey, Discover, Adventure". Making your heart want to return. Everyday is different. Every trip is different. I am well travelled and I use my experience to create those extra special memorable vacations. Don't Be a Tourist -- Be a Traveler.

Its All About the Experience

Its All About the Experience

<p>What is the meaning of travel experience? You hear this come quite a bit in advertisements or in travel talks. Briefly it means:</p>
<p>Experiential travel, also known as immersion travel, is a form of tourism in which people focus on experiencing a country, city or particular place by actively and meaningfully engaging with its history, people, culture, food and environment. It can often be transformative.</p>
<p>These are just parts of the travel experience that I like my clients to enjoy. There are always so many take-a-ways from a trip to a new destination, I like to find the one things that had the best positive affect on me. The one experience that gave me more insight to that destination or peoples culture so I come away with a great feeling of having immersed in learning something new. </p>
