Ancient Sicilian ruins at night — heritage journeys

Heritage Search & Journeys

Finding what your family left behind.

Custom

Every heritage journey is different — some are a single day in a village, others span multiple days through archives, churches, and cemeteries across western Sicily. The depth of the project determines the investment.

We'll talk about your family history, what you're hoping to find, and build a scope from there. No two families left the same story behind.

Custom

Pricing varies based on depth of research,
number of days, and villages involved

Civil archive and church record visits — birth, marriage, death records
Village visit with guided walk through ancestral streets and sites
On-the-ground translation (Italian and Sicilian)
Local contact facilitation where family connections can be made
Written journey summary — what was found, who was met, what's next
A discovery call is required before a quote can be provided. Travel and accommodation costs are quoted separately.

Josephine at the Sparacia olive farm — hosted experiences

Hosted Experiences

Days I lead personally. No tour. No script.

€100 per person

In-person days I design and lead personally — at the olive farm, in the villages, at the table of someone whose family has been making the same dish for four generations. Access that takes years of belonging here to build.

Available standalone or as part of a broader itinerary. Group minimums may apply. Does not include travel.

€100 pp

How It Works

Tell me what you need. I'll tell you honestly whether it's something I can help with, what it involves, and what it costs. No packages, no minimum spend, no pressure.

À la carte services are priced individually based on what's involved. All fees discussed before any commitment.

The Process

How We Work Together

01

Tell me what's pulling you.

Fill out the inquiry form — or just send me an email. Tell me where your family came from, what kind of experience you're imagining, and when you're thinking of traveling. There are no wrong answers here. I've helped people who knew exactly what they wanted and people who only knew they felt something they couldn't name.

02

We have a real conversation.

I read every message personally and respond within 48 hours. We'll get on a call — or exchange messages, if you prefer — to understand what kind of trip would actually be right for you. Not the Sicily everyone plans. Yours.

03

You receive a curated proposal.

Within 7–10 days, I'll send you a proposal — specific properties, specific experiences, specific timing, specific reasoning. Not a generic itinerary pulled from a template. The exact trip I would build if it were my own return.

04

We refine until it's right.

Different property, slower pace, an extra day in the interior, a morning at the archive — everything is flexible. We adjust until the trip feels exactly like what you came here to find.

05

You show up. I handle everything else.

Every booking, every confirmation, every contingency. If something shifts while you're there, your phone rings and I answer. All you need to do is arrive and be present — which is, after all, the whole point of coming back.
