Connect with your familial heritage through travel

This Is Our Story

I fell in love with travel when I fulfilled a dream to backpack around Europe when I was in my 20's. I had graduated from college and saved the money to make the trip happen. I was supposed to go with a friend and when two different friends backed out last minute, I decided it was now or never! 

I ended up traveling solo on a trip of a lifetime for 2 1/2 months all around Europe. 

 

When we were raising our kids, travel was an integral part of their upbringing. Travel teaches tolerance and understanding for other cultures and even differences at home. My kids have been to  England, France, Mexico, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Japan and Italy in addition to many places within the United States. 

 

As I get older, I realize that I want to be more connected with my heritage. During the COVID epidemic, I had the opportunity to research my family history. I knew we had Italian heritage but had no real connection with it as my grandfather passed away a few months before I was born. As I dug through our ancestry, I discovered that I qualified for Italian Citizenship since my great-grandfather and great-grandmother were both born in Sicily and my grandfather was a child when they naturalized in the US! 

 

On a recent trip to Sicily we were able to find my great-grandmother's ancestral home and visit my great-grandfathers ancestral comune. On the same trip we also found my aunts ancestral home in Croatia.

 

I now live part-time in Puerto Rico where many people leave the island, but when it calls their name they come back to visit family or to learn more about their own heritage.

 

I'd love to take my husband to Ireland next, to discover his heritage.

 

Connection is increasingly becoming more important. We are in an age of technology and disconnect. Learning how our ancestors lived, where they lived and the history of their time forges a greater connection with our own families and communities.

 

Whether you need help planning and booking your next trip or want to connect with your families heritage, I'd love to help.

Rosie found us amazing locations to stay on our travels in France, including a location with a 1000 year history of caves with several rooms built into "the wall" and a swimming pool on top of the wall. Epic.
