I am the founder and editor-in-chief of Local Coffee + Travel.
In a world of AI algorithms and corporate chains, the stories that make a place feel like home are often overlooked.
Independent coffee shops, small-batch roasters, and local makers are the heartbeat of their communities, yet it’s easy to miss the authentic experiences that connect you to culture, people, and place.
These are experiences you won’t find on a map, in a digital algorithm or on a list.
If you crave connection and a slower, more intentional way to explore, you’ll love discovering stories that aren’t rushed, filtered, or driven by trends.
Local Coffee + Travel is your passport to discovering independent coffee culture, the in-depth stories and bold missions that fuel local connection whether in your hometown or when traveling. It’s where coffee meets purpose.
I joined the community because coffee and travel are two of my greatest passions, and I love the way they bring people together. Whether it’s discovering a hidden café on a quiet street, connecting with locals over a shared love of coffee, or exploring the rich stories behind each cup, being part of this community allows me to connect with others who also love travel.
As a 3rd generation Italian in the United States, Italy is my favorite travel destination because it offers the perfect blend of history, culture, and, of course, coffee. The food, the people, and the atmosphere make Italy feel like home, and it’s where I can truly relax and immerse myself. The passion for coffee in Italy also inspires my work with specialty coffee.
I have so many place that I dream of traveling to, I don't think I can name them all.
Sip. Explore. Repeat.
Thank you! Will do.
