About Beth

My Italian Side

I am an experienced travel advisor and I received my Italian citizenship in October 2024.  I’m working on my Italian fluency to fulfill my dream of living part-time in Italy. I delight in exploring new cultures, tastes, and sounds. My picture-perfect day involves an outdoor café in a new town, savoring delicious food and wine while immersing myself in the captivating rhythm of life passing by.

Aperitivo at Salumeria Simoni Laboratorio in Bologna, Italy.  This great bar on one of the tiny, busy side streets of Bologna is the perfect place for an aperitivo!

Dinner at the Hotel California, Positano, Italy.  This family run hotel on Via Cristoforo Colombo is one of my most favorite places in Italy.

My Passion

I have a passion for travel that broadens the mind and heart.  I believe it provides a deeper understanding of the human experience. Whether I’m exploring new places or revisiting old ones, I seek out new neighborhoods and experiences.  Additionally I value learning from locals and find that to be the best way to immerse myself in a destination. This curiosity fuels my appreciation for cultural immersion and human connection, enriching my travel experiences and fostering empathy across cultures.

My Goal

My goal is to work with you to help you find your Italian roots.  This may be through a trip that I plan for you.  You may need help researching your ancestral Comune or finding documents for your family members.  My work is to make the process of finding your Italian roots easier for you.  Reading through the resources online can be daunting.  Wouldn’t it be nice to have an expert on your team?

If planning a trip to Italy is part of your journey, as an experienced travel advisor, I can be with you every step of the way.  I also aspire to provide exceptional service, driven by a passion for helping clients create unforgettable experiences. I will listen attentively to your needs, provide personalized recommendations, and finally ensure seamless travel planning. By staying informed about the latest travel trends and destinations, I aim to offer insightful advice and solutions. I value clear communication, patience,  and strive to exceed expectations and build lasting relationships. Ultimately, I want to make every journey stress-free and enjoyable, turning dreams into reality.
