Shara Illiano

Acting on a desire to share the magic of Capri with 50 of my closest friends and family, I meticulously planned a multi-day itinerary to Italy in the summer of 2022. The trip itself was spectacular, but more importantly it was a true turning point in my life. After 15 years spent working in the finance industry, I was inspired to finally pursue a career at the intersection of my passion for travel, an innate propensity for organization and a true desire to bring people together.

My experience in hedge fund marketing and client relations has gifted me the ability to seamlessly manage multiple projects and communicate effectively with my clients. But it is my desire to share the magic of travel and togetherness that I bring to my travel advisory business. Inspired by my personal travel experiences—from Bail to Bora Bora, South Africa to Spain, and across the majestic wonder that is Italy—Travelissima lets you experience the transformative power of curated luxury travel.
