Piano Grande, Sibillini National Park, Umbria, Italy

Umbria

Known as Italy’s ‘green heart’ and a beautiful region that is full of hill towns, cliffside castles and stunning mountain scenery.

Located in central Italy, this lovely region is often overlooked for neighbouring Tuscany. But it shouldn’t be – with vineyards, olive groves and mountains, it has plenty of scenery to rival its neighbour.

My travels were first inspired by my love of the UK, which I take as much pleasure in exploring as countries far and wide. For me, travel is all about the adventure, the people I meet and the food I sample along the way.
