Exploring the sites of Rome will never get old!

Hello!  As a travel advisor with a love of travel and solo adventure, my passion is helping others discover the life-changing magic of travel!  Too often if we don't have someone to travel with we choose to stay home and just dream and say "one day".  I'm here to help you gain the confidence to take that trip and explore the world!  It's a very empowering feeling knowing you CAN do it alone!

When you book with me, my goal is to put together your perfect personalized adventure - one filled with beauty, cultural immersion, self-discovery, and lasting memories.  I take the time to understand your unique travel style through one-on-one conversations.  My specialties include planning incredible trips for solo travelers and small groups.

Italy is my favorite country I've explored.  I'm fascinated by Italian history, art, culture and cuisine, especially Michelangelo's work!  Nothing was more breathtaking to me than standing in the Vatican and looking up at the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel and imagining the skill it took to create such a masterpiece!  And wandering the streets of Rome to find all the hidden gems truly was a memorable experience.

Let me help you design your next solo trip or share my Italy insider tips!  I handle every step so you can relax and experience the joy that comes from stepping out of your comfort zone.  The memories we make exploring the world stay with us forever.  I can't wait to start planning your adventure with you!
