So many options...

Plan the trip of a lifetime!

Planning a trip to a foreign country can get overwhelming fast—there are so many places to go, things to see, and decisions to make. But if you’ve landed here, chances are you’re heading to Italy (yay!), and you’re either considering Florence as one of your stops… or perhaps you’re planning your entire adventure around the Capital of the Renaissance.

Either way—you’re in exactly the right place.

First things first: did you know Florence is the capital of Tuscany? That means you’re not just visiting a city—you’re stepping into an entire region filled with magic. From truffle hunts in oak forests and lazy afternoons by the sea, to medieval hilltop towns and tiny wine bars hidden down cobbled lanes—Tuscany has it all.

So, if you’re dreaming of a trip that goes beyond the selfie-spots and TikTok hypes—a trip full of genuine moments, quiet beauty, and unforgettable details—then I’d love to help you make it happen.

Of course, I can’t promise we’ll avoid all the crowds (Florence is popular for a reason!), but what I can promise is scenic routes, tucked-away treasures, and experiences that feel personal, meaningful, and truly yours.

Curious? Great! Send me a message, and let’s set up a call to get to know each other. I can’t wait to hear what kind of adventure you’re dreaming up.
