Italy filled my cup in ways I didn’t even know I needed. 🇮🇹✨

I started the trip in Florence, a city I had only experienced for a few hours on a cruise stop years ago. This time, slowing down and truly exploring made me fall completely in love. The history, the food, the energy — all of it felt unforgettable. We even did a food tour, and our guide Gabriel was an absolute gem… so full of knowledge, personality, and fun.

Then came five life-changing nights in the Chianti hills on a women’s retreat. The views were stunning, but the real magic was the community. I went in with a mix of familiar faces and acquaintances and came home with friends I’ll cherish forever. That kind of connection is something travel gives you in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.

After Chianti, we made our way to Lucca — the town my ancestors came from — which made the experience even more meaningful. We visited Pisa, soaked up the iconic sights, and wrapped up the adventure along the Genoa and Cinque Terre coast. Great food, gorgeous views, slow mornings, salty air… it was pure joy from start to finish.

Italy warmed my heart, deepened friendships, connected me to my roots, and reminded me why I love what I do. I’m already dreaming about going back. 💙✈️

If Italy (or anywhere else!) is calling your name… let’s dream something up together.
