A BIT ABOUT ME, JEN
Your Personal Travel Advisor

Salve, buongiorno, welcome!
I’m delighted you’re here, and look forward to inspiring your next journey.
Travel has long been my passion. At 18, I embarked on my first journey to Europe, studying art and business in Rome. Living in Trastevere, I spent my days wandering cobblestone streets, immersing myself in world-class museums, and savoring Italy’s extraordinary cuisine. That experience sparked a lasting connection to Italy, and a lifelong love of travel.
Since then, I’ve explored 30+ countries, with a defining chapter unfolding in 2016. After a decade in New York’s marketing industry, I was required to take a six-month garden leave between roles. What began as time off became a period of meaningful exploration: teaching kindergarten in the Philippines, tutoring English in Italy, and quietly shaping what would become Piccoli Adventures.
It was also during this time that I met my now-husband, Massi. After this period, I returned to NYC for 2 more years, then moved back to Italy, where I lived along the Adriatic coast, obtained Italian citizenship through my ancestry, and planned our wedding. In September 2019, we were married near husband's hometown in a Renaissance church, celebrating afterward in a nearby castle.
Today, I design bespoke journeys around the world. Each individual client's tastes and preferences are at the center of the curated itineraries I create - whether this mean private tours, family heritage exploration, immersive culinary experiences, refined five-star hotels, or distinctive, design-forward accommodations.
