It was one heck of a start.

Day 22 of My 22 Day Adventure in Italy

Three weeks living in Italy has come to an end…….for now. I feel that I accomplished a lot on this trip. In review:

1) Our newly formed Culinary Oasis team identified multiple ways we can add value to our new partners that operate Villa Riviera Resort day-to-day. We feel very capable of implementing them.

2) We ran a very successful first retreat for our investors. Eight couples got to experience our newest portfolio property and the broader Italian Riviera region in a very well organized and unique way.

3) I got to spend an extra week experiencing The Italian Way from a man who has mastered it - my new business partner Matteo.

This was just the first of many living experiences in Italy. It was one heck of a start. Here are just a few of my favorite moments. 🇮🇹

Key lesson: Great adventures end, but the memories fund the next ones.
