Do You Have a Travel Story?

My previous blog referenced a failed attempt to visit Portofino, an insanely picturesque fishing village on the Italian Riviera. Cinzia knew I had dreamed of visiting Portofino, and in my mind’s eye, I’d be hobnobbing with a veritable ‘who’s who’ of the fashion and textile industry from Milan. On this momentous day, I was told we’d have a ‘little walk’ from where we’d parked in the village of San Rocco di Camogli, which would culminate in arriving at one of my dream destinations!It was a stunning day—clear blue skies but HOT (not my favorite element). I was dressed casually yet smart, driving moccasins, simple shoulder bag, and white tee (at least it started that way!). I was sure to check with Cinzia about my attire for this ‘little walk’ so that I was appropriately turned out. “Just a simple walk,” she confirmed. OK! It was a family day, so we were together with her husband Lorenzo and their two sons, who were about 5 and 7 years old at the time.
Totally Random, Intentional Travel

In this blog post, I share the highlights of my travels through Italy with my dear friend Cinzia. What might seem like random destinations were intentional, as my trips were often work-related. From the iconic Pitti Uomo menswear show in Florence to unexpected stops in ancient towns like Massa Marittima and Bergamo, each moment was unforgettable. The stunning landscapes, from fields of sunflowers to Lake Como, left me in awe. These experiences, filled with laughter and wonder, remind me why travel creates stories worth sharing—stay tuned for more!

After spending 30 years in the textile industry, Amy developed a deep bond with her Italian friend Cinzia. Together, they experienced Italy in a unique, off-the-beaten-path way, avoiding tourist spots and discovering hidden gems. The dream of sharing these experiences with others began years ago but was put on hold due to life’s demands. Now, with Cinzia as a certified guide, they are offering small group tours in Italy, focusing on nature, culture, and local experiences in the Southern Tyrol region.
