What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I have a broad knowledge of most parts of Italy, and specific expertise for Rome, Umbria, Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, and Sardinia. I also write about Switzerland, Malta, and the rest of Europe. When possible, I love to bring my family along when I travel, and we love all things soft adventure - hiking, e-biking, kayaking, and boating. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"My first job out of grad school required me to travel all across the US, and I was hooked. Travel planning and research drive some people nuts, but I love every step of the process - and the journey, of course!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Hmm...a few of so many great memories: solo hiking in the Grand Canyon, walking in England's Lake District, sitting on the bow of a catamaran off the Napali Coast of Kuaui as hundreds of spinner dolphins swam with the boat. And every time I see the Pantheon in Rome."
