however you got here — Benvenuto!
I love to travel — my bags can be packed in 15 minutes. And I especially love Italy.
My only authority as a travel writer is that I have a passport and used to love to hear my family members speak loud, passionate Italian to one another. I knew I wanted to go where that language was spoken one day, and I’ve been lucky enough to have been to Italy seven times so far.
What’s been really great for me has been traveling over the years with good friends. Also, with my husband. Ah . . . Tim. My constant traveling companion, and the catalyst for so many crazy and wonderful stories that need to be told.
If you’ve ever had a funny or frustrating or life-changing experience in another county or another country, then UP AT THE VILLA is for you. And whether you’re planning a trip to the Sistine Chapel or to your comfy flowered sofa, this beautifully illustrated collection of true stories, practical tips and lessons from the road will be excellent company.
Buon viaggio!
