Patrizia's Story
Ciao, amici!
I was born and raised in Italy, and I caught the travel bug in my teenage years when I decided to study foreign languages for an interpreter degree with a focus on art history. During my studies, I had opportunities to travel as an exchange student to foreign countries, and the first time I boarded on a plane, I was hooked. It was during one of my trips visiting an American friend that I met my husband. I ended up living in California and decided to pursue a career in travel so that I could do what I love.
I have been arranging trips for clients for almost 25 years. Italy is my home country and my specialty; I travel to Italy often to visit my mother, and I try to incorporate a different experience every time I go. Lately, I have gone wine tasting to several famous vineyards in Tuscany, and I have also done some food excursions to learn about Parmigiano-Reggiano, balsamic vinegar and prosciutto di parma. All of these experiences were super interesting and tasty!
Aside from Italy, I have arranged trips to all of Europe, including river and ocean cruises. I love to explore and learn about new cultures.
