Hey there! I'm Angie, 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 truly was a walk of faith and stepping into what I had always dreamed my life would look like. I decided to go all in before having all of the answers and learned many things along the way.

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