I'm a freelance travel writer, blogger and photographer, with a speciality in all things Italian. My book, Up at the Villa: Travels with my Husband, was named one of the "Top 10 books I'd give my girlfriends" by the award-winning site www.journeywoman.com. I organize small group travel to Italy -- this year we'll be going to Abruzzo -- and recently bought an apartment in the beautiful city of #Sulmona. I live in New England, in the quirky and amazing #SalemMA. Find me at www.travelthewriteway.com.
