How did you get involved in travel?

"Hospitality runs in my family: for over forty years, my mom and my dad have been welcoming travelers to our restaurant and rooms, passing down to me the art of making people feel at home!
As I always like to say, I grew up eating agnolotti – delicate pasta filled with meat, cabbage, and rice, – and drinking Barolo wine: two of the most typical delicacies of my home town.

After my studies, I explored the many dimensions of the tourism world, earning my Tour Leader’s license as well. These experiences led me to travel extensively throughout Italy and beyond, deepening my understanding of places, cultures, and people. Today, all those paths converge here, where I design the same kind of meaningful, magical journeys that first inspired me.

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I was in Jordan, in the heart of the Wadi Rum desert, where the landscape is wild and burnished orange beneath the sun. As I watched the sun sink beyond the horizon alongside the travelers I was guiding through the country – and that later on would become some of my closest friends – I understood with absolute clarity that creating happiness through travel, by sharing my knowledge and care, would become my life’s purpose."
