Ciao, travelers!
I'm Sonia — your next guide to the heart and soul of Italy (and beyond).
I’m not just here to show you around — I’m here to help you experience the real Europe.The smells from a kitchen in Sicily.The laughter echoing through a Tuscan village market.The story behind a crumbling stone wall in Corsica that no guidebook ever mentions.That’s the kind of travel I believe in — and the kind I create.

I’ve spent over 20 years leading people through language, culture, and unforgettable experiences.I work as a language educator and cultural host for American travelers here in Italy, where I design immersive evenings with storytelling, food, and laughter at the center.I’ve also worked as an interpreter, small-group guide, and even planned private tours across Sardinia, Sicily, and Corsica — always with a focus on authentic connection.

I’m fluent in English, Italian, and French, and I know Tuscany, and Sicily like the back of my hand — especially the off-the-beaten-path places that make a trip truly special.

What else do I bring?

A warm, calm presence (even when travel throws a curveball);

A knack for creating meaningful moments — not just photo ops!

A lifelong love of stories, people, and the magic that happens when they meet.

I’ve lived in the U.S.(Vegas, Boston, and New Orleans!), and now I’m based in central Italy — ready to hit the road with you, wherever the next adventure leads.

So if you're looking for a guide who’s more than just a guide — someone who will make you feel at home, laugh out loud, and fall in love with local life — then I can’t wait to meet you.

Let’s make it unforgettable.
