Hi, I am Gladiola Ulqinaku, an international soul with a passion for traveling, art, culture, living healthy, and authentic connections.

Michigan is my home, yet Italy has been a big part of my life. I grew up watching, reading and listening everything Italian. Learning the language at a very young age inspired me in later years to immerse not only into the rich history and culture of the country, but also to explore many places on and off the beaten path, and to create genuine connections with the locals that would transform into long lasting friendships.

While during my years of solo traveling, I enjoyed the freedom of setting my own pace, I also realized that this freedom can sometimes come with a quiet sense of disconnection. I desired to share the experiences with others who just like me were looking for a home away from home. 

With a Master’s in Finance, a background in Art and Philosophy, having studied Ashtanga-Vinyasa Yoga, Tibetan Heart Yoga, Jivamukti and Dharma Yoga, ERYT 500 hr, and previously owning a Yoga studio, I created a boutique travel site that offers fun activities, and a mindful way of enjoying Italy.

Come and blend into our family of traveling women to appreciate the places and the time shared together. Home is not just one place, it’s a feeling we create through our experiences.

With love, Gladiola
