My Experience

As of Manifesta's launch, I have been to Italy 15 times. The map here indicates places I've traveled in Italy, with noticeable clusters in Lazio, Tuscany, Abruzzo, Puglia, and Campania. I've also been to Umbria and Sicily, and had brief encounters with Molise, Liguria, and Calabria. That's only 10 of the 20 regions of Italy!

While I have more travel experience in certain regions, that does not limit my ability to offer planning support anywhere in Italy. Research is a necessary component of my service offerings and it's something I have spent hundreds of hours doing over the last decade.

Combined with my travel experience, the skills I developed throughout my professional career—such as strategic planning, program and project management, leadership, and visioning—create a natural bridge to travel planning and advisory. After all, I have been doing it for myself, and advising family members and friends, for years. (Read about it in their own words.)
