Tucked away in the quiet charm of Chiavari , among cobbled paths and the gentle hum of artisan life, I had the rare pleasure of meeting one of Italy’s true creative treasures: Franco Casoni. Known for his extraordinary work in sculpture and his deep connection to wood and tradition, Casoni welcomed us into his workshop. The space felt more like a living museum than a studio.

Alentejo, with its rolling hills, endless vineyards, and rich food culture, proved to be the perfect destination for a March getaway filled with indulgence and luxury. This stunning region of Portugal offers an impeccable blend of world-class gastronomy and boutique accommodations that cater to every desire, ensuring an unforgettable escape.

My winter trip to Vilnius was an unforgettable journey that felt like stepping into a winter wonderland, complete with snow-dusted streets, frosty air, and a warm, inviting charm that only this Baltic city can offer. As the city transformed into a snowy canvas, I eagerly embraced the chance to explore its rich history, unique culinary scene, and vibrant culture.
