If you're someone who values self-discovery, slow travel, and deep cultural connection, you're in the right place.
I’m a nature-loving traveler, lifelong journaler, and full-time linguist writing from the perspective of an American living in Italy. But you won’t find romanticized clichés about “la dolce vita” here. This space is for curious, intentional people who crave real stories about travel, identity, and living with purpose.

Because you're not just looking for tips. You’re looking for truthful reflections, thoughtful questions, and a sense of belonging.
Here’s what I write about:
🌍 Travel
Think solo trips, van life, homestays, and design-forward stays rooted in nature. I don’t hand out generic recommendations — I share my three essentials: coffee, culture, and adventure. It’s less about where to go and more about how to be there.
🌀 Personal Growth
I’ve shed identities, left jobs, outgrown relationships, and started over more times than I can count. I write to connect with others navigating transformation to make you feel seen, supported, and less alone.
🌱 Culture, Language & Values
As a multilingual linguist, I’m fascinated by how culture shapes behavior. Why do Italians take coffee so seriously? Why are Americans always optimizing? I explore the deeper why behind cultural norms with humor and thoughtfulness.
