WHY THIS TRIP IS SPECIAL…
Why combine Rome + Abruzzo?
Italy has always been part of our love story. ❤️
My husband and I met as two college kids on a summer internship in Italy… and 20 years later, we found ourselves buying a little home in Abruzzo — Casa Querencia— a place that somehow knew us before we knew ourselves.
Rome, Abruzzo, Italia entera… they’ve shaped our marriage, our family, our rhythm, our joy. Every cobblestone, every mountain view, every plate of pasta has been a chapter in our story. And somewhere along the way, I realized: sharing this place with others feels like my calling.
So I went back to school ✨, completed the CTA program, got my Seller of Travel license, and created a boutique tour of just 8 guests that blends everything we love — the history, art, and beauty of Rome with the rustic, nature-filled charm of Abruzzo. A curated travel experience made from corazón y experiencia.
