Meet your tour guides.
I’m Monica, a second-generation Italian-Australian, and my connection to Abruzzo runs deep. My husband, Patrick, and I share a strong bond with this land. Patrick's parents were born here, as was my mother, and my father's family also comes from the region. Its rich culture has shaped our lives. Patrick even spent part of his childhood in Ripa Teatina, attending the local primary school, while I spent time in kindergarten there.
Later, in my 20s, I lived near Pescara, soaking in the coastal charm and vibrant traditions. We've spent decades travelling throughout Italy, but Abruzzo is where our hearts are. Our intimate knowledge comes from years of exploring, connecting with family, and discovering the hidden gems you won't find in a guidebook.
Abruzzo is more than a destination for us; it’s a part of who we are. We're thrilled to share its timeless beauty, rich heritage, and personal significance with you, guiding you on a truly authentic journey.
