Explore Like It Matters.

Why does how we travel matter? Living 40+ years between the US & Italy revealed a truth: authentic connection unlocks understanding, something often lost in standard tourism. This conviction led me to co-found Culture Discovery Vacations (est. 2006), proving deep immersion works. This passion now extends globally through our experiences across Europe, and beyond through my writing exploring how meaningful, smaller-scale travel builds cultural bridges anywhere. Based on decades of experience, I champion travel that genuinely connects us. Explore why this approach matters.
