Andee Sorenson
Founder & Director
Traveling Native is inspired by life in rural Tuscany where Andee has lived and worked since 1997. Her long-time love affair with Italy began with the trials of becoming part of the scenery and finding herself at home in the Italian language.
Never landing in Italy as a tourist, her approach was always to generate a sense of real belonging. The long haul of invigorating and often uncomfortable work to make a home away from home took root and evolved into the mission of Traveling Native: sustaining the art of enjoyment of a less-published Italian landscape.
It turns out, being in Italy with Andee is much like coming home and finding yourself among new friends. The novelty of each encounter and every meal shared is accompanied by the warmth of Andee’s kinship with the people, the food, and the landscape. Each experience is carefully designed to connect you to what is truly exceptional about Italian living: The Art of Enjoyment.
