I’m an Italian-American travel writer and digital storyteller documenting culture and heritage around the world.

Born into two cultures and raised across three continents, I’ve always felt at home in the spaces between — a perspective that’s shaped how I see and write about the world. I’m drawn to what’s different: what’s unseen, overlooked and deserves to be celebrated.

That curiosity is what drives me to travel. And I believe travel can be a force for good — a way to deepen our understanding of the world, and ourselves.

Since moving to Italy 15 years ago, I’ve explored the country in depth — uncovering its traditions, regional nuances and hidden gems. I also launched The Italy Edit, a digital magazine celebrating Italian culture and lifestyle.

I contribute regularly to Forbes, writing about hospitality, sustainable travel and cultural heritage. As a certified travel advisor with Fora, I also help travelers explore the world more mindfully, drawing on my own experiences to connect them with meaningful places and stays.

Beyond Italy, I spend time each year solo traveling across Asia and sharing my reflections on Substack.

Before focusing on travel full-time, I worked with the UN World Food Programme on Freerice — a gamified platform that raises funds to fight hunger — and with the International Development Law Organization on branding and social media. Those experiences shaped my belief in storytelling as a tool for awareness and change.

I hold a degree in Philosophy and Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia.

My work is evolving toward exploring how tourism can support cultural resilience, policy and philanthropy — ensuring that travel not only inspires us but helps preserve the diversity of people and places that make our world extraordinary.
