Exquisite Beauty, Tangible Realness
Imagine yourself superseding tourist itineraries to meet places and people that will offer so much more than you ever thought possible.
See Italy differently.
Whether you are a seasoned traveler, or this is your first trip to Italy, I can help you create the trip of your dreams that is grounded in an authentic, immersive Italian experience.
Your Dream, Italian Reality
Together, we will map out what is most important to you and what you would like to experience.
In my advising, I like to divert from the notion that “we have to see all the things in a short span of time,” and instead will help you see the beauty of a more immersive approach to the travel experience in Italy.
Vivi l’Italia Com’è | Experience Italy… as it is.
To me, your time in Italy should be special, connective, and unique. It should bring you closer to the culture, the people, and what it means to be Italian. To me, this is exquisite, and I want to help you feel and see these things and have these moments.
The Best of All Worlds
Working with the elements of your dream trip, we will craft something meaningful, beautiful and sustainable—An experience that is not only remarkable and unforgettable for you, but also is good for land and people.
Whether you are a solo traveler, going with friends, family, kids or any other kind of relational constellation; desire to see religious art, lots of water, be part of living history, etc., I can help you weave together the most important pieces.
You can come to me with specific questions, an idea, or an itinerary in progress. You can come with a notion that you’d like to travel to Italy someday, and we can work from there!
What People Say
“If someone were to ask me about Kristi, I could only answer with one word: Italy. She loves Italy, my country, and her soul vibrates in harmony with the beauty and warmth of it. She cares a lot about others, brings a light that warms and sweetens, and makes you feel truly valued and understood. She is a wonderful bridge between these two cultures.”
— Francesca M.
