Meet The Family
Our small but mighty team is united by our passion for Italy and for creating exceptional travel experiences. We are storytellers and dreamers, movers and shakers, excited to share our knowledge and insight with curious travelers. We are major food lovers, prone to obsessing over our preferred pasta shape, the best pizza dough recipe, or our favorite bottle of Lambrusco.
We love a lot of things about our job, but top of the list is the personal connections we develop with everyone we work with. From understanding what foods you love, to the types of views you've been dreaming about, we dig deep and get personal, going the extra mile to create your perfect trip.

Claudia Camerino,
Logistics Director
Claudia has been enchanted by Italy’s beauty from a young age. At first, trips were about family time; visiting her Venetian nonni at their home on the Lido, swimming in the Adriatic, and exploring the mountains with her family. At the age of six, she declared her favorite foods to be artichokes and spaghetti al vongole. A lover of mountains, local cuisine, and great company, Claudia points travelers to the some of Italy’s most irresistible areas.

Ashish Rathi
Reservations Manager
I was born and raised in New Delhi, and my first trip overseas was in 2017. Since then, travel has become a passion of mine, with a desire to go to new places and meet new people. I believe that traveling is a great way to experience life, and I have since visited Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, as well as continuing to explore my home country, India. Outdoor activities and adventure travel are two of my favorite things to do. I enjoy eating street and authentic foods because it allows me to understand more about the culture of the place I'm traveling.
A travel quote I penned - "travel is the beginning of happiness"

Tamela Cocke,
Itinerary Development
Tamela developed a love for travel as a college student when a 3 month internship to Sydney turned into a 4 year Australian adventure. Not long after arriving in Sydney, the opportunity to stay on to work in a more permanent position became available and she jumped at the chance. This small town girl spread her wings as she explored Australia while working abroad. Tamela knows first hand how impactful travel is and loves to help others experience the world and make lifelong memories. Tamela enjoys traveling with her husband and twin boys as often as possible.
