Travel for me started from a very young age, living in South-East Asia before moving back to Europe. My parents were keen travelers and always took my sister and I along, often to remote and largely unexplored places. My first taste of Africa came at the age of 5 and I was hooked instantly. From the wildlife, to the people and landscapes, it's a fascinating continent and one that I will never get tired of visiting. Since then I have traveled throughout Africa and lived in Zambia for 2 years, working at a conservation project and lodge. It is after this point that I moved into the travel industry to share my passion for this continent.

I was born and raised in Rome, Italy and from an early age, I was introduced to the world of travel, and it quickly became more than just a passion—it became a way of life. Growing up surrounded by history and culture, I learned to appreciate the small details that make each place unique: the scent of freshly baked bread in a neighborhood café, the laughter echoing from a local piazza, the joy of getting lost down cobblestone streets. These moments shaped how I see the world and inspired my lifelong desire to share that magic with others.

I was born in Australia and have always had a curious spirit. This has led me to explore all seven continents and more than 60 countries, driven by a love of adventure, food and wine, and the stories of ancient civilizations. Whether cycling through Provence, hiking the Inca trail, photographing Antarctic penguins, or just taking in the views, I always want to connect to a place and its' people. More recently, I’m learning to travel with a young family in tow, where luxury is as much about ease and authenticity as it is about sharing the wonder of the world together.

I am one of the lucky few to have started working the travel industry at the start of my career. I love adventure and got my start as a guide, leading luxury hiking and cycling journeys all over Italy and the rest of the world. When I travel, I try to find a balance of the bucket‑list must‑sees with hidden gems. I'll take some weather to avoid the crowds anytime. I love traveling with all my senses - weather it's feeling the wind in my face from the deck of a boat on the Adriatic Sea, soaking my feet deep in hot Thai sand, waking to the sound of ancient bells ringing in Italy, or eating whatever the locals eat in Japan!

My love of travel started as a 19 year-old, with a 3-month backpacking adventure through South America. I fell in love with the iconic sites such as Machu Picchu and Iguazu Falls, and took every chance to delve into spectacular Andes mountain scenery, both on foot and by mountain bike. As a biology graduate, what excites me most is rich biodiversity and nature. My most memorable experiences are the once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters, of which Latin America offers up some of the best in the world. Top of the list for me are snorkeling with playful sealions in the Galapagos Islands and tracking elusive jaguars in Brazil’s Pantanal.
