Bio | I’ve been writing for Collette Vacations since 2003. I’ve traveled to the Canadian Rockies, New Orleans, Austria, and Germany – including Oberammergau – with Collette and extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean on my own and with my family. I majored in International Relations in college and wanted to work in a foreign embassy after graduation. Instead I ended up in marketing and absolutely love the creativity of the people I work with at Collette. Also I find it somewhat fitting that I work for a travel company given my academic background. I’m an avid reader and a huge fan of history, art and architecture. This is my first time to South America. All-time favorite destination? It’s so hard to choose just one destination because each one offers something special and unique. I guess I’d have to say Italy—the art, the architecture, the food—it’s all pretty spectacular. Some people find Rome a bit overwhelming but I love the energy that pulses through it! Plus, Tuscany is a great balance to the city scene with its olive groves, fields of sunflowers, and hilltop towns where you wonder if your mini car will make the steep climb up long, winding roads. What’s on your bucket list? It’s a toss up between Japan and Israel. I have always been fascinated with non-western cultures, especially Japan’s mix of modern and centuries-old traditions. And Israel –with its ancient cities and confluence of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – is something I find very intriguing. When I return to Italy, I would love to visit the Cinque Terre region…I guess my list could go on and on.
