Hello, I'm Marie!

As the granddaughter of Italian immigrants, I inherited a love for fashion, food, and travel. I find beauty in the simplest of things, whether it’s a meal, a destination, or a piece of architecture. My grandparents may have passed down the travel gene, as they journeyed to America in the 1930s. 

My travels have taken me to many places, where I have witnessed the unadorned beauty of the Tuscan countryside, the arrondissements of Paris, and Gaudi’s cathedral in Barcelona, among others. For me, travel is education. It satisfies my intellectual curiosity and prompts me to seek out more destinations, cultures, and experiences. I’m fascinated by people, architecture, markets, and ethnic foods, and the more I explore, the more I want to discover. 

As a former Director of Human Capital, I’m taking my knowledge, wisdom, and transferrable skills to my next journey as a travel liaison, which excites me. I always have a destination on my calendar, and I find that travel nourishes my mind, body, and soul. I invite anyone, regardless of age, to join me on this exciting adventure.

“Travel isn’t always pretty, it is not always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts. But that‘s okay. The journey changes you. It should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”  Anthony Bourdain
