As an Italian tour leader and travel designer, this past year has been difficult to say the least. I miss my native land, taking my travel clients around, sipping cappuccino or wine, or strolling with a gelato in hand.

But while we can’t travel to Italy right now, there’s no stopping us from planning our next adventure. Anticipation of a future trip gives us something to look forward to, something to daydream about and imagine as we wait to actually take to the skies again.
