Italian heritage is much more than the world-famous art and cuisine. The complexity of modern life intertwined with historical monuments in Italy is continually enchanting visitors and turning them into ex-pats. A sincere pleasure of indulgent way of life that most Italians lead rubs off easily. Enj...

Why traveling is fundamental.

  Joie de vivre may be a French expression, but it is the Spanish who truly embody it. Whilst any conversation between you and your average Spaniard will be heard by the entire city (my neighb…

Why Authors of Travel are different....

Many of you know that I live part of the year in Europe (mostly in the Mediterranean) and I love to live like a local and eat my way through Italy and Spain. ;) Since many have asked about me for tips on traveling or itineraries for their families/friends, I thought I'd share my close friend's and one of my travel buddy's fantastic travel agency which focuses on authentic travel: www.AuthorsofTravel.com

It's made up of 3 women who speak six languages collectively, have taken over 20,000 clients on over five hundred trips to almost all of Europe, and themselves have lived all over Europe. I wholeheartedly believe in this type of travel and in their quality work. They customize trips for small or large groups at much lower prices than the run-of-the-mill travel agencies which just takes you to the main sites like everyone else. Anyways, two of the partners will be coming to DC next weekend from Barcelona and NYC and we have these events scheduled for whoever wants to join. Just let me know cause I'll be there!
