Il dolce far niente with some photography, writing, hiking, and great food and wine thrown in for good measure.
How did you get involved in travel?
"It started in Venice 30 years ago. I lost my heart to Italy and have been obsessed ever since. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Being chased by a pack of wild dogs in Oaxaca,
or trying to board a small ferry at Agia Roumeli in Crete during an epic thunderstorm. Although I’d prefer watching the fireworks in Rome on NYE, from the comfort of our balcony in Grottaferrata, any day. "
