You know those gorgeous photos I post from Umbria? The ones with yellow broom bursting into bloom, swags of wisteria hanging from the pergola and bunches of roses filling every vase in my home? I take most of these photos during the month of May when the landscape literally bursts into life. While I love all the seasons, Spring in Umbria is quite special. So special that I decided to add one more tour during this glorious season.
Although you’ve gotten used to seeing me lead tours with my daughter Sophie, this May I’ve got a new traveling partner: my sister Robin. After a successful career as a graphic designer and art director for companies like Martha Stewart Living, Conde Nast and ESPN she has recently embarked in a new direction. She founded Go Love NY, a tour company which creates day trips in the Rivertowns and the Hudson Valley, outside of New York,.
Like me, Robin spent formative years in the 1970’s in Rome. After living abroad in Hong Kong and London she has been called Westchester home for the last 20 years. But for the last 30 years one thing has been constant: she has spent as much of her vacations as possible with us in our home in Umbria. And she is very excited to share her love of her ‘second home’ with our guests.
