Welcome to Travels & Inspiration
Ciao!
I'm Deanna.
The educator and
coach behind T & I.
TUNE-IN, THRIVE & TRANSFORM...
through travel
Mindfully plan & travel in meaningful ways that bring you joy & fill your bucket.
Utilize self-care tools & well-being practices to recharge as you explore the world.
Get to know yourself as you learn, grow, heal & transform through travel.
I'm Deanna, an American-Italian living and working in NE Italy.
Some years ago I was experiencing burnout from working long hours in the field of Sports Medicine.
I loved my career field, yet I knew it was time to make a change.
There was a need for a better balance in my life & as it turns out, Italy was calling!
In 2001, I moved near my Italian family for the adventure of a new job, to travel more & to experience Italian life more deeply. And to explore my other lifelong hobby, photography!
Over the years, I left my workaholic ways behind and built a life around wellness, travel & photography. T & I is an extension of those experiences.
My work draws on years of experience as a Teacher, Certified Athletic Trainer and most recently, an ICF Accredited Travel Coach.
My mission is to help people to tune-in to their inner guidance & embrace travel as a way to cultivate well-being, learn, grow, heal & transform.
My work sits at the intersection of wellness, personal growth & travel.
And so...
What I Believe About Wellness...
I believe wellness is a pathway to optimal living. An intentional way to live.
A pursuit of energy, balance, fulfillment & a little sanity (or some days a lot)! It's about showing up every day, for better or worse. And nourishing our minds, our bodies & our dreams. So we can meet our full potential.
I believe that travel greatly enriches life & is one of the best investments we can make in ourselves. It's an ideal avenue for well-being, personal growth & transformation. To redirect us back to ourselves when needed. And it's an endless source of inspiration.
As for me...
I am simply trying to live my best life. Doing my best to thrive.
Looking for inspiration & wanting to share the thoughtful things I find along the way. Things that are worth experiencing.
Everything I have learned about health & well-being has grown out of my professional experiences, along with a mix of hard work, experimentation & listening to my own intuition.
There's certainly no magic formula. Some days I get it right, and others it's more of a work in progress. But, it's given me a solid toolkit to build on & if my approach resonates with you, then I'm happy to share everything I know.
