Curator’s statement
Although there are many corners of the world I have yet to explore, Italy is my favorite country to date. With its sophisticated, Tuscan charm, Firenze captured my heart on a solo adventure, and drew me in for a long-term stay two years later. Living in a quiet little town in Arezzo, I spent my Saturdays exploring Tuscan towns little by little, and my Sundays enjoying hours long, wine-filled lunches with my newfound family of friends. With much gratitude for a dream-like chapter of my life. Tuscany is my favorite region to curate itineraries for and share personal stories about.
