My Travel Story

I was born in Brindisi, in the heel of Italy's boot where the Adriatic meets ancient olive groves, and Sunday lunch is still the most important event of the week.
I didn't discover Southern Italy from a guidebook. I grew up in it.
That's why when my clients ask for Italy, I don't send them where everyone else goes. I send them where I'm from to the masserie hidden down unmarked roads, to the village feasts that don't have a website, to the coastlines where the water is just as blue as Positano and there isn't a tour bus in sight.
If you want the Italy that most travel agents can't find on a map the real Puglia, the untouched South, the wedding under the stars with pizzica dancers and mozzarella made that morning, you're in the right place.
Based in Vancouver. Rooted in Brindisi. Here to make your Italian dream actually Italian.

My Favourite Destination

Italy — Southern Italy specifically. Puglia, Basilicata, Campania.

Southern Italy is where I was born and raised. I know it not as a tourist, but as someone who grew up eating at those tables, walking those streets and understanding the culture from the inside. That's a difference my clients feel from the very first itinerary I build for them.
Philippines e Vietnam, The Philippines and Vietnam — two countries that completely changed the way I see travel. They taught me that the most extraordinary experiences happen far from the tourist trail. That philosophy is at the heart of everything I plan.

TRAVEL
TIPS

Everyone loves Italy. Almost nobody knows this Italy.

Ponza, Vieste, Peschici, Santa Maria di Leuca, Alberobello, Matera — these places exist. They are extraordinary. And chances are, you've never heard of most of them. I was born in Brindisi, in the heart of Puglia. I didn't grow up visiting Italy — I grew up living it. The Sunday markets, the nonnas making taralli by hand, the masserie where fresh mozzarella appears on the table still warm, the coastlines where the water rivals the Maldives and the only sound is the wind. This is the Italy I build itineraries around. Not the Italy of overcrowded piazzas and two-hour queues. The Italy of a cooking class in a farmhouse that has no Instagram page. Of a wedding ceremony in a centuries-old masseria with pizzica dancers moving under the stars. Of a honeymoon morning on a private boat heading to the Isole Tremiti — an archipelago so pristine it almost doesn't feel real. If you've always loved Italy but felt like something was missing — like the real version was just out of reach — it wasn't. You just needed someone who actually knows where it is. That's exactly what I do. Ready to see a different Italy? Book a free consultation with Sara — the Italy specialist who grew up there.
