I am fortunate. My first visit to Italy was with my family when I was sixteen. It was love at first sight. I returned for my junior year of college in Florence. And then again for the year between undergrad and grad school. And then I just kept going back almost yearly. I married (and divorced!) two Italian men, learned the language quite well and now the country feels like a second home to me.
Lots of folks like to travel to Italy. People regularly ask me for advice when they are traveling to Italy so I've developed a website introducing people to how I can help them plan their dream Italian vacations.
