The Art of Italian Enjoyment

Traveling Native was officially founded in 2009 though its foundational adventures were already organically underway a decade prior. During Andee’s residence in Tuscany from 1997-2005 she developed intimate base of friends and collaborators in the provinces of Siena, Florence, and Lucca. Her unique network and expertise in Italian Culinary Travel has now expanded into the region of Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot.

Traveling Native offers a variety of small group adventures in Tuscany and Puglia as well as custom trip design and planning services for private groups traveling anywhere in Italy.

Traveling Native experiences in Italy are configured within the architecture of relationships that Andee has cultivated in Italy for almost 3 decades. Andee’s mission is for you to access The Art of Italian Enjoyment by plugging directly into the sense of belonging that took her years to grow into.

Whether traveling 2 or 20 days, Traveling Native is the mapping device that will usher you into position so that you may enjoy Italy purely and immediately and without breaking the leisurely pace of Italian living.

The ultimate vision of a Traveling Native is to become part of the scenery so that you are always at home wherever you go.
