What is your most memorable travel experience?

My wedding in Tuscany will forever remain my favorite memory. My husband and I got to spend an entire week exploring Florence and the countryside with our loved ones and then at the end of the week–the grand finale!–we tied the knot in a medieval hilltop village and danced the night away in the courtyard of an ancient castle. From wine tastings to exploring the quaint little villages, to just hanging by the pool at our hotel and hosting the most epic aperitivo under the Tuscan sun, it is truly something I will never forget!

Which destination do you go back to again and again?

Italy! There is so much to explore and never enough time. From lakes to mountains to the country to the sea, Italy has so much squeezed into its boot. Not to mention it is home to some amazing food, culture, and hospitality. I am always dreaming of my next visit and have some wonderful memories to look back on. I got married there, honeymooned there, am currently learning the language and am a proud dual citizen thanks to my great-grandfather who was born in Sicily.
