Here's My Story →

“Live your life like it’s a story worth telling—and make every chapter count.”

After decades building a successful tech career, I decided to follow my passion and move to Italy.

I quit my high-stress job, purchased a dreamy villa tucked in the Tuscan countryside, and now spend my days sharing Italy’s beauty with others while helping them do the same.

My journey to la dolce vita didn’t happen overnight—it took years of planning, saving, and searching for just the right Italian retreat to call home.

Now, I want to help you escape the daily grind and embrace your very own Italian dream—faster and easier than I did.

Whether you’re exploring, investing, or simply dreaming, this guide will help you take the next step with clarity and confidence.
