Someone said Italy was a passion, I call it an obsession. Traveling to Italy at least twice a year for the last 12 years has truly made me an addict. In addition to trying to explore every corner of Italy, I am an Israel specialist as well. Born in Israel but with an Italian heart, I love to share my insights, knowledge, and experiences in these two countries. From enjoying the "hip and trendy" Tel Aviv to experiencing the North region where you'll drive through Arab villages and see - first-hand - how the Jews and the Arabs live together. Take a jeep excursion with the head of security at a Kibbutz who will take you on a journey where you will meet with Israeli soldiers on active duty. From skiing in the Dolomites to sunbathing in Puglia, the passion I feel for Italy comes out with each conversation.

I'm also fortunate that my husband's family who live in the very small village of Fiais -near the Atlantic coast - has prompted me to not only learn more about authentic, off-the-beaten-path regions of the country, but to learn the language as well.

I've been in the travel business for many years. And when asked my favorite destination in the world, I always answer SCOTLAND! The history, the natural beauty of the countryside, the castles especially Inveraray and Edinburgh, and the great food - including fresh seafood, Scottish favorites such haggis, bangers, and mash; plus, the true Scottish dessert - shortbread. Other reasons you'll love Scotland is the opportunity to self-drive, island-hop from island to island (an amazing opportunity); tour famous, historic cities such as Edinburgh and in Glasgow where you can spend time in the West End known for quaint shops and lots of parks, and the opportunity to view the magnificent art and architecture of the Victorian era. There is more to see and do for both Harry Potter fans and Outlander, and for those who hope to see the mystical monster Nessie when you stop at Loch Ness.

My passion for this compelling and beautiful country began right out of college as I was employed with the San Francisco branch of the Italian Government Travel Office (ENIT.) My job description was to promote tourism to Italy and over half of my work was devoted to arranging and booking personalized travel to Italy and other parts of Europe. Of course, the fact that I'm an Italian American (half Lucchese and half Sicilian) and that I minored in Italian language and culture in college has only piqued my interest in learning as much as possible about this destination! Over the years I've lost track of how many visits to Italy I've made. I have gained so much knowledge and experience and want to share it all with you.

As a highly experienced, knowledgeable travel advisor, I am an expert for my two favorite destinations in the world: Croatia and The Galapagos.
First, Croatia. We can start in the historic city of Dubrovnik, spend time in Split, cruise through the Dalmatian Islands, spend a few days hiking and enjoying the luxury of an incredible villa in Plitvice Lakes and Falls National Park, and consider crossing the border for a sightseeing adventure in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I'll also recommend and arrange for you an excursion to Mljet National Park and a boat trip to St. Mary's Island. The highlight of your visit here will be a beautiful, emerald, green salt lake... so dive in!
Next, let's go halfway around the world to the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. Would you be excited to watch sea lions bask in the warm sun on an orange-sandy beach? Or witness a mother sea lion call to her cub from down the beach, as he comes running back to her?

My first trip to Greece was a cruise in the early 80's. Since I have spent the years immersing myself in exploring this incredible country. My time was spent both on the mainland and the islands. It's important to me that my clients get to see and feel the beauty of this country. Having one of the oldest and most influential histories of both the ancient and modern world provides visitors with a never-ending number of sites, and museums, as well as the opportunity to check 5 of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World off their bucket lists. When planning with my clients, I focus on the client's level of interests. Choose the ever-popular beauty of the Caldera of Santorini or the whitewashed, blue top buildings and lively beaches of Mykonos. or the lesser traveled Islands that offer smaller crowds and insight into the traditional Greek culture.

The most recent visit to my favorite destination on earth - ICELAND - was a visit/exploration by land and sea. First, we toured and explored the country by car with a private guide for five days before boarding a vessel and circumnavigating the ENTIRE country for the next nine days. To say that we explored and visited every part of this incredible destination is truly an understatement.

As a Destination Specialist, my favorite destinations are Scotland and the United Kingdom. My love and appreciation for the UK and Scotland began as a young girl traveling to England and Scotland with my family. Always eager to learn, I carried books about Scotland to help plan our family's time when visiting. As an adult, I would venture back to the UK and Scotland often while on corporate business trips, so that I could continue to learn, understand, and appreciate this intriguing culture and history - even more so as an adult.

I've been traveling to Ireland since I was a child. It's in my blood, and I've held strong connections to this magical country my entire life. What makes my expertise unique is how I have experienced this destination in so many different ways - from enjoying visits with family, experiencing the sights and attractions on an escorted group tour, and most recently performing as a member of my church choir in many of Ireland's historic cathedrals. I love using these experiences to create one-of-a-kind itineraries that focus on the off-the-beaten-path sights, attractions and activities that the guidebooks won't tell you about. My goal is to plan and implement an itinerary that literally "comes alive" for you and is exciting from start to finish.

That trip is when I fell in love with France, and it has never waned, only grown stronger with time and more visits.

Croatia and
Morocco.

My passion began when I had the good fortune to work here, as I was based in a small town outside Rome. Needless to say, I traveled extensively every weekend and on vacations to learn and experience as much as possible. Since returning home to the U.S., my passion and enthusiasm only continues to grow. I can't wait to get back every year and get updated on all that's new and exciting since my last visit. In addition to my expertise in planning individual custom itineraries, I have extensive experience in leading groups to Italy and have planned and implemented itineraries for faith-based, multi-generational, wine and general art/cultural-focused groups. I can recommend such enticing experiences as adding a concert to your itinerary, a chance to drive Ferraris in the hills around Florence, arranging an after-hours tour of a famous attraction, or a personal shopping experience. In fact my native Italian friends tell me "I've seen more of Italy than they have!"

Disneyland, California showcases charming, small towns; deserts, mountains, excellent food and wine, hiking, biking, great golf and that's just the beginning of all that this destination offers

Let's begin with Iceland - a Nordic island- country situated between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, which is on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between North America and Europe. To say that I've experienced and enjoyed the best of Iceland is an understatement. What an amazing destination! While there, I drove the Golden Circle (a popular 190-mile tourist route in southern Iceland looping from Reykjavik into the southern uplands of Iceland and back.) In addition, I explored the bridge between two continents, went swimming in the Blue Lagoon, rented a boat to visit the Puffins, and even went to the Lava caves. As you can see, I love adventure! I'm a "Game of Throner" and made sure I explored Revkjavik in the best possible way, including dining at a tomato restaurant called Friðheima.
