Treviso is the perfect small village our home base for our next Italy adventure. Join me as explore this stunning area. April 15-23, 2027. Space is limited.

The Veneti call it Città d'Acqua, the city of water, and sometimes la piccola Venezia della terraferma, the little Venice of the mainland. Walk its streets, and you'll understand why. The rivers Sile and Botteniga thread through the city, splitting into narrow canals called cagnani that wind past waterwheels, frescoed facades, and medieval palazzi with crenellated parapets. Every corner earns its postcard and Instagram post. Even Dante noticed , name-dropping Treviso in "The Divine Comedy" as the place "where the Sile and the Cagnan go hand in hand"—a small literary shoutout the city celebrates to this day.

The resemblance to Venice isn't coincidental. For centuries, Treviso was Venice's garden—thousands of hectares of lush farmland, accented with beautiful villas, that fed La Serenissima's appetite for both good food and culture. Boats arrived here every day from Venice and left loaded with produce, grains, w**e, and more. Treviso wasn't just a neighbor: it was essential to Venice's way of life.
Today's Treviso is still a lush city, and in 2025, it became the first Italian city to win the European Green Leaf Award which is given to small cities that show a commitment to sustainability. It is also, quietly, a fashion and culture capital: it's the hometown of fashion label United Colors of Benneton.

To see the itinerary and to sign up follow the link below to my tour page. Book now, a double is 4,499 and solo is 5,099 includes air from MSP, (other gateways available) our stay at the ****+ Hotel Carlton , transportation in country, 11 meals and endless new memories and experiences. This is such a good travel value.

This tour is ideal for solo's, (as I am) if you want to experience a part of Italy thats a little off the beaten path say YES to the adventure.

Unpack once and take in the vineyards, villas, peaks, and prosecco of Veneto and Northern Italy.

My Thanksgiving dinner this year? A gyro, in Athens. 🥙🇬🇷

And yes, I'm pretty pumped about it.

Sometimes the best travel opportunities just fall in your lap. I've wanted to sail with Celestyal forever, and when they dropped this new Mediterranean itinerary, I didn't hesitate. The Celestyal Discovery is a smaller ship with just 1,266 passengers — cozy, uncrowded, and ready for adventure.

Here's the deal:

Fly out of MSP on November 25th (Delta, ~$1,500 round trip — MSP → Athens → Barcelona → MSP)
Pre-night in Athens on the 26th
Cabins: One with a window, one with a balcony — your choice! Starting at $649/person with complimentary dining, entertainment, port charges, and gratuities all included.

Optional excursions that are absolutely unreal:
Ephesus & the House of the Virgin Mary in Kuşadası, Turkey
The Godfather villages, Mount Etna, a Sicilian food tour, or Taormina (White Lotus fans, you know the spot 🎭)
Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast 🤯
Explore Rome before we head to France and Spain
Seriously, how do you even choose?

Contact me ASAP if you're interested in joining me for a Thanksgiving gyro — let's travel while we can. ✈️🥙

Two weeks from today, my group of 10 adventurous women depart for Portugal and Spain as we hike 77.7 miles on the Camino Pilgrim Trail. I hope this is the first of many woman focused group adventures to come. I'm trying to survive this one before I announce 2027's active adventure. I'll give you a year to train. 🥾🎒🚴‍♀️🦯✈️
