If “travel more” is sitting at the top of your 2025 wish list… let me introduce you to the people who made our Italy trip feel effortless. ✨

Curata Travel plans small-group, boutique experiences that feel more like traveling with friends than joining a tour. Think:
🍝 cooking in a Tuscan villa
🍷 wine tasting with local producers
⛵ aperitivo on a boat at sunset
🌿 slow, thoughtful travel that feels like a dream

We’re full-time teachers with limited time off, so having someone plan the kind of trip we’d never pull off on our own? Life-changing.

If Italy is calling your name, save this and send it to your fave travel crew — Curata is absolutely worth it. 🇮🇹

👉🏼Follow for more travel ideas for real people who value life over stuff at Christmas and all year long!
