After one intense month of working online and hiding in my house during an 119 degree Arizona summer, I realized that the money I spent on food delivery apps could have flown me to Italy.

So I did what any sensible woman of a certain age would do…I spent a month in Italy.

I'm not a travel influencer or a culinary expert. I still work, even when I’m traveling. I’m just a lady who realized it's never too late to chase la dolce vita, and maybe, just maybe, it can help me enhance every area of my life.
