Four years ago today, The Well Traveled Soul officially launched.

The idea started in 2020, but like many things that year, it took a little longer to become reality.

Today, I'm celebrating four incredible years, amazing clients, unforgettable journeys, and a business I'm so grateful to call my own.

Thank you for trusting me with your adventures. ❤️

Here's to what's next. ✈️🥂

40 years of marriage deserves something extraordinary… and this anniversary journey through Italy is exactly that. 🇮🇹🥂

First stop: beautiful Taormina, Sicily — where they’ll spend a full week settling into la dolce vita at the stunning UNA Hotels Capotaormina. Think seaside mornings, pool days overlooking the Ionian Sea, beach club bliss, endless Aperol spritzes, and easy strolls into town for all the pasta, seafood, granita, shopping, and charm Taormina is famous for. 🍋

And because Sicily always deserves a little adventure…

They’ll head off on an unforgettable private Mount Etna experience — exploring Europe’s highest active volcano by 4x4 through lunar landscapes, volcanic craters, ancient forests, and lava fields before ending the day exactly how it should end in Italy: wine in the vineyards beneath Mount Etna. 🍷

After soaking up a week of Sicilian sunshine and slow living, it’s off to Rome — where the second half of the trip shifts into full “Italian highlights” mode. 🇮🇹

✔️ Private golf cart tour through Rome
✔️ The Colosseum
✔️ A private Vatican experience

Then onto Florence… one of my forever favorites. ❤️

They’ll spend their days wandering Renaissance streets, marveling at the Uffizi, sipping wine in Siena, and learning the art of Italian cooking during a Chianti cooking class and wine tasting experience. 🍝🍷

And finally… Venice.

Because no Italian love story is complete without a gondola ride through the canals.

From volcanic vineyards in Sicily to the timeless beauty of Venice, this anniversary celebration is the perfect blend of relaxation, romance, incredible food, unforgettable experiences, and iconic Italy moments.

Honestly… 40 years never looked so good. 🥂

If Italy has been calling your name lately…this is your sign to answer. 🇮🇹

Last Thursday was one of those days that filled my cup in every possible way ✨

I had the honor of receiving a 2026 Achievement Award at the Providence Business News Business Women Awards — and getting to spend the afternoon with my sister Kristina Truppi Truss and my best friend Alanna Bruno made it even more special. 💛

There’s something really inspiring about being in a room full of smart, driven, supportive women...especially right here in our little tiny state of Rhode Island. So much talent, leadership, creativity, and heart packed into one space.

I loved reconnecting with old friends like Lisa Shorr (Shorr Success) and Jessica Fox (Secure Future Tech) and celebrating all the amazing things women are building here.

Great conversations, inspiring stories, lots of laughs… and yes, probably a little too much wine for a Thursday afternoon 😉🥂

Feeling very grateful for the women beside me and the community around me.

A romantic weekend, done right ✨

Just booked a beautiful escape to the Aurora Inn in the Finger Lakes—the kind of place where everything feels calm, considered, and quietly luxurious.

But here’s the part I love most…

It’s not just about where you stay...it’s how you stay.

Think VIP perks, thoughtful touches, and those little upgrades that make a weekend feel just a bit more special.

A reminder that even a quick getaway can feel elevated with the right planning behind it.

And if you prefer to book on your own?

I have a self-booking tool that still unlocks those perks...just reach out and I’ll send you an access code ✨

Because luxury isn’t always about going far… it’s about how it all comes together.

What a week it has been… one day it’s 90 degrees, the next it’s in the low 60s. It must be May in New England.

But we all know… this is the unofficial kickoff to summer. And if you know me, you know this is my favorite time of year. I live for summer in New England. ☀

Long days. Walks along the Narragansett seawall. Beach days. Time with family and friends on the patio with a classic BBQ. And of course… dreaming about weekends away to some of the incredible destinations right here in our own backyard.

Newport. Nantucket. Cape Cod. Coastal Maine. Vermont. The list goes on.

Scroll through to see a few of my favorite local hotels; all perfect for a long weekend or even a spontaneous midweek escape.

🇺🇸 I also want to wish everyone a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend… even if the weather isn’t exactly cooperating. Maybe that just makes it the perfect weekend to start planning summer weekends.

And of course, beyond the long weekend, Memorial Day is a reminder of what this holiday is truly about…honoring and remembering the brave men and women who served our country, and those who continue to serve it today. Forever grateful for their sacrifice and dedication to the country I love so much. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
