Deep in the Apennine Mountains of Southern Italy lies a tiny village that countless generations of my family have called home. At six years old, my life was forever changed when I flew across the ocean to visit for the first time. That very first trip planted a seed that has grown within me and become a natural curiosity, a desire to explore, and a deep appreciation for the people and places who share their culture and heritage with us. My love affair with travel has been rewarding and joyful, and I hope to create the same emotions for you.
