American living in Southern Italy, soaking up the dolce vita one gelato at a time.
Travel style
I'm passionate about slow & immersive travel, and am always seeking unique and enriching local experiences. Off-the-beaten-path destinations and hidden gems are my specialty, and I have a tendency to plan my itineraries around local cuisine and unique hotels. My goal? Balancing must-see sights with genuine, relaxed moments for the perfect travel experience.

Booking with Gaia was so simple and effortless. Gaia is incredibly responsive and easy to reach. She sent timely updates and reminders ahead of our trip which was so helpful when balancing a busy schedule. She also booked all of our activities with the properties concierge, saving us so much time! We received a room upgrade and had such a fantastic experience on our vacation.

From the thoughtful consideration shown throughout our communication, the responsiveness, and the carefully curated options provided, the final itinerary turned out well beyond my expectations! I look forward to working with Gaia on my future trips and have recommended a first call with her to all of my traveling friends, family, and, most recently, coworkers.
