About Patri

Founder of Wander & Savor Life


I’m Patri — a tour leader, writer, and lifelong traveler who believes that adventure doesn’t have an age limit. Over the past few decades, I’ve built a life across three countries. Originally, purchasing a Villa in Tuscany and spending so much time there since 1994. I have learned the culture, the language and the art of living La Dolce Vila. Now in my 70’s, I split my time between The Sunshine Coast of British Columbia overlooking the Ocean in Sechelt BC. In Borgo a Mozzano just up the Serchio River from Lucca in Tuscany. And a warm respite in the winter when not traveling in Green Valley AZ. Each place brings its own rhythm, beauty, and deep sense of belonging.


After years of guiding women through boutique tours in Italy and beyond, I created Wander & Savor Life as a space to share not just travel tips, but a way of living — one that celebrates slow mornings, meaningful connections, and finding beauty wherever you are.


Here, you’ll find travel inspiration, seasonal style guides, capsule wardrobes, and reflections on living well in every season of life. Whether you're planning your next chapter, searching for a slower pace, or rediscovering your sense of joy — welcome.


Age boldly. Live elegantly. Savor everything.
