EAT DRIVE REPEAT

Everyone starts with Tuscany. And honestly, it’s lovely. But when I traveled to Emilia Romagna, something shifted. This wasn’t postcard Italy—it was deeper, richer, more surprising. There’s a rhythm here that’s slower but sharper. It’s not trying to impress. It just does. I didn’t come here for crowds or photo ops. I came for legacy. And what I found was a place where food, history, and horsepower all share the spotlight. Eat Drive Repeat wasn’t the plan—it became the motto. The meals stuck with me. The people left an impression. And the cars? They roared. If you’ve been to Italy once, this is where you go next. Trust me, you’ll never look at prosciutto—or a racetrack—the same way again.

TRUSTED TRAVEL EXPERTISE

I’ve had clients ask me, “Why use a travel advisor these days?” My answer? Because the internet doesn’t care if your hotel is next to a construction site. Fort Collins travelers turn to me for curated, stress-free travel designed around their unique preferences. I don’t just book flights—I craft unforgettable experiences. I know which river cruises are truly luxurious, which safari lodges are worth the splurge, and which Tuscan villas feel like a dream. It’s not about more options—it’s about the right ones.

TUSCANY WITHOUT CROWDS

I thought I knew Tuscany. I’d seen the postcard views, sipped wine in Chianti, wandered Florence’s grand piazzas. But then I discovered something quieter. More haunting. More human. “Tuscany Without Crowds” was the phrase that popped into my head the moment I arrived in Pitigliano. Carved from volcanic stone and standing proud above the hills, this medieval village feels untouched by time. There were no lines. No tour buses. Just me, a sunset, and the scent of wood-fired bread curling through the alleyways. If you’ve been to Italy and think you’ve seen it all — you haven’t. Not until you’ve stood here.
