I enjoy a blend of bucket-list sights and culturally immersive experiences. Travel should be about slowing down and enjoying locations rather than being so jam-packed that you never have a chance to relax. I like to plan a balance of taking in sights with periods of relaxation in between so you can get the best of both worlds. Getting off the beaten path allows you to have experiences that most others don't get to have; they end up being the most memorable. Having recently helped my aunt find her ancestral home in Croatia and my family's ancestral homes in Sicily, I love helping others connect with their families heritage through culture, food and community interactions.

I am hard of hearing/deaf and love to help those that struggle with finding locations that are accessible for their needs. I am gaining my Italian citizenship recognition and love helping others connect with their heritage as well.
