Travel style

Travel, for me, is storytelling — each journey a chapter, each destination a poem. Food is my love language, and I seek the soul of a place through its markets and shared meals. With over a decade working in wine, hospitality and tourism, I craft journeys with the same care as a winemaker blends a vintage — layered, intentional, unforgettable. I don’t travel to check off sights; I travel to lose myself in a city’s rhythm, to linger in a sunlit piazza and to celebrate the beauty of people and their cultures.
