Giving Back
I believe that tourism should benefit destinations as well as the traveler.
To this end, I donate 15% of my fees to Planeterra, a non-profit organization that supports community tourism enterprises—so you can claim a tax deduction on that donation without paying a penny extra.
The bottom line is Roads Less Traveled Italy’s mission is to help people enjoy a new way of traveling to one of the most beloved countries in the world.

Customized Slow Travel to Italy:
Off the Beaten Path Journeys
by Car, Train, Cycle & Foot
Instead, envision your customized, slow travel journey to Italy…
Wander medieval hilltop villages at sunrise, delight in a community festival where neighbors savor home-cooked dishes, swirl local wine, and dance to folk music, or cycle through vineyard-draped valleys—all at your own speed.
Do you yearn to skip the crowds and have a genuine, slow-paced adventure in Italy? Have you dreamed of venturing off the beaten path on your own but felt uncertain about where to go or what to do? Would you like to embrace a more sustainable approach to travel? Are you afraid that getting any kind of help in planning this is completely outside of your budget? Whether by car, rail, cycle, or foot, I work directly with you to determine your priorities and match these with the best Italy has to offer. All with a flexible service fee structure and trip price point options to match your budget. You’ll go beyond the tourist trail, experiencing the customized, self-guided tour of Italy you’ve always dreamed of.

Picture this…
You’ve spent days—maybe weeks—sifting through forum posts, binge-watching travel videos, and grilling AI for your Italy travel plans. Now your browser’s swamped with 25 open tabs, a vague sketch of a plan, and little clarity on even which regions you want to explore. Not to mention what all this will cost you.
Worst of all…You’re beginning to lose sight of the excitement that sparked this journey.
Erica’s service is well worth the reasonable charges and she went above and beyond expectations.
