Hi,I’m Stephanie Santangelo. I’ve spent the past 20 years exploring over 30 countries, driven by a passion for culture, cuisine, and meaningful travel. From vibrant cities to quiet corners of the world, I’ve embraced every journey as a chance to learn and connect.

After two years as a luxury Travel Coordinator, I now work directly with clients to design personalized trips for any budget—seamless, enriching experiences that reflect your unique style.

As a foodie, I believe cuisine is the key to understanding a destination, and I love helping others experience culture through food. Traveling with my 7-year-old son (who has been to 19 countries and counting!) has also made me an expert in family travel, from kid-friendly destinations to striking the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation.

We’ve even lived in Switzerland and Germany, and I’m currently in the process of obtaining my Italian citizenship after years of in-depth travel across Italy’s diverse regions.

Most recently, we purchased a home in Martina Franca, in the heart of Puglia’s Valle d’Itria. It’s an already established vacation rental, and it is now available for guests to book and experience authentic southern Italy firsthand. You can find all the details under the “PalazzOliva Guest House” section of this site.

I’d love to help craft your next unforgettable journey!
