who's this trip for?
unique trip considerations
- This trip is a Scout Escapes Plus trip, which means it's catering to those aged 40 and over.
- Be up for train rides! The best way to travel through Italy is via train and we will be visiting each major city on the high speed railroad. Those with motion sickness please come prepared.
- Entry into churches and religious establishments requires a dress code. No shoulders or knees are allowed to show and you will need to bring a shawl or proper attire for entry.
- We will be doing a lot of walking throughout the cities to visit popular spots and explore! The cities of Italy are mostly walkable or accessible via public transport or ride share.
- We are visiting three cities in Italy and ideally your flights will arrive in Rome and depart in Venice. If this is not possible, we can help you source train tickets to get back to your airport of choice in Italy.
Hi friends! I’m Anne—a self-proclaimed travel junkie and hotel fanatic who’s always up for an adventure. I've been a luxury travel advisor for two years but have been curating unforgettable trips for family and friends for over a decade. I love exploring new places, diving into different cultures, and hunting down the best food and wine a destination has to offer. (I love wine so much that I’m working on my sommelier certification this year!)
With a background in Art History, I’m also passionate about the art and architecture of cities like Rome, Paris, Madrid and beyond. I’ve traveled extensively—28 countries and counting - and even lived in Vienna during my undergrad days.
In travel, my superpower is finding the fun in every experience, even when things don’t go as planned. I believe every experience is a story to tell and a memory to make. I also believe that finding your tribe (girlfriends who have the same spark for travel that you do) is a special magic all its own. With that in mind, consider me your new travel bestie—I can’t wait to explore some dazzling destinations with you!
