TBT to 1993 at age 19. Travel has long been my passion. My grandparents would save the Sunday travel section of the newspaper for me every week and I would start planning some great escape. At 12 I would call travel agencies that I found in the yellow pages to get the addresses of different hotels around the world to find pen pals! I wound up with one in Spain, the Solomon Islands, and Italy. Eventually I moved overseas and worked at an international travel company in Florence, Italy which all led to starting Antico culinary tours. I’m so glad I was able to experience foreign travel before the invention of the internet! (I’m mid sentence in this photo, not sleeping by the way!)
