Hi! I’m Monique – a cultural anthropologist and traveler writer. I’m an expert on European culture, ancient and modern, and am certified by the Italian National Tourist Board as a “Travel to Italy Specialist.”

If you love exploring the history and culture of the Mediterranean and Europe then join me as I look for the past and present of cultures and civilizations, epic journeys, empires, pirate raids, and capricious gods.

Along the way, I find local food, wine, breathtaking beaches, and unforgettable hikes.
