You've earned this trip.

Let me make sure you actually enjoy it.

I am Christina. I live in Rome.

I help North American travelers plan Italy with clarity and reality. When you understand how Italy works you can relax into enjoying Italy.

That is why you came. Right?

I'll make you feel why Italy matters at this point in your life, and then tell you exactly which train to take, which hour to photograph, which trattoria to eat at, and what it should all cost.

Am I allowed to spend this? To want this? To travel alone? To take up this much space? To deserve this much pleasure without feeling guilty?

Yes. All of it. 100% yes.

Your body deserves the long lunch and the thermal bath. You deserve the 5 star hotel and the slow morning. You deserve to enjoy the splendor. You are the one who planned it. Italy is not a reward you have to justify.
