When she’s not planning travel for her clients, you'll likely find Stephanie whipping something up in her Jersey City kitchen, refining her dance moves, playing the ukulele, or enjoying an amazing meal at the bar somewhere around the world. Stephanie has deep appreciation for her Italian heritage, which has yielded a genuine enthusiasm and expertise in but is not limited to, Italian tourism and hospitality. A former NY Knicks City Dancer and current freelance food journalist and content creator, she is on a perpetual quest to enrich her client’s travels through the finest food and carefully curated experiences. Her experiences as a dancer and hospitality professional have taken her all over the world performing, producing large-scale events, and continuously expanding her destination expertise.
Languages: English and Italian
Favorite Destination and Why: Italy! As a second generation Italian-America, my passion for all things Italy runs deep. I have visited over a dozen times, but enjoy exploring and sharing the lesser known regions and hidden gems in the more popular ones. Italy has everything to offer, from snow-capped mountains, to aquamarine waters, to rolling, unspoiled countryside, and the food...well, it's some of the best in the world :) I also speak the language which makes communicating with our ground partners much easier!
Areas of Specialty: Honeymoons, Multi-Destination, Multigen, Solo Travel, Corporate Travel
My Travel Style Is: Somewhat planned, with room for spontinaity (and shopping)! Food, culture, history and adventure focused.
