Meet Your Trip Leader

I fell hard for Italy as an art student and never stopped exploring since. I scoured maps for Italy's hidden secrets, connecting with locals, learning the language, and soaking up the authentic everyday life along the way. This passion led to a career in NYC, where I worked for top agencies and startups, planning luxury vacations for VIP clients. Now living half the year in Italy, my goal is to bring my guests meaningful travel experiences that will forever connect them to the genuine spirit of Italy.

Creative Edge Travel is about slowing down to connect with what makes Italy Italy— its people. We know from experience that what you'll remember most are the interesting locals you meet on your adventure. That's why we couple unique activities with opportunities to connect with locals in a meaningful way. We go beyond the typical tourist sites to off-the-beaten-path villages and farms where our friends and artisans are waiting to share their way of life with you!

Reviews

Well, let me start by saying it was sooo hard to leave Sicily. I fell in love! Yes, with the terrain, the views, the food, the wine, the people: individuals and as a collective. OMG, the olive oil...why oh why did I not bring back more?! Creative Travel's Sierra is a delight. It is clear she has spent time forging relationships with our trip's guides and the folks who run the places we visited. She is a most welcome sight everywhere she goes...In turn, so are those who travel with her. Honestly, while in Sicily, being with Sierra or one of our guides, you are welcomed as a loved one. It was easy to return the sentiment. I packed that feeling to bring home with me. Remember to bring an extra tote or duffel for the olive oil!

The best trip I've ever been on!!! If you're thinking about traveling to Italy make sure to contact Sierra. She'll take you to the most amazing lesser-known spots. Matera was a magical city that I didn't know about before traveling with Creative Edge Travel. Sierra made the trip totally stress-free. Every day we did something fun and different. I can't recommend it enough!

The best trip I've ever been on!!! If you're thinking about traveling to Italy make sure to contact Sierra. She'll take you to the most amazing lesser-known spots. From a homecooked Italian meal in a local family's home to a private traditional folk music concert, you will not be disappointed with a second of your Creative Edge Travel tour. Sierra is also very accommodating to your interests, giving you free time to explore on your own, and making sure you have time to rest. Every day was a pleasure and I can't recommend it enough!
