Paternostro

I was born and have lived all my life in New Orleans, Louisiana.

A desire to see the world and a passion for travel define me and led me to the travel profession where I am now an Independent contractor with Largay Travel, a Virtuoso member.

. Virtuoso allows me to plan top notch travel for my clients as well as for myself. How very lucky to have a career that enables me and yes, even demands, that I travel well.

For many years I traveled the US. New York is a personal favorite and one of my specialties. I have lived there for a year, one week at a time!

In October, 2019, my group of 21 from New Orleans sailed aboard the Crystal Serenity from Barcelona to Rome. As a Virtuoso host on this sailing it was my pleasure to interact with over 100 Virtuoso Voyages guests. This was my 27th trip to Europe where the history, architecture, and culture never cease to delight.

In September 2016 I hosted aboard the Crystal Symphony to Ne w England and Canada with many of my Virtuoso group from New Orleans as well as other locations. Luxury ships sailing world wide offer Virtuoso Voyages . Travel on one and you are spoiled !

At last count my travels have taken me to 38 countries. From the US to Europe, Asia and South America to down under, the world is a wondrous place. In January , 2017, it was my pleasure to vist Australia and New Zealand. This amazing trip fulfilled two of my bucket list destinations. There is no substitute for first hand knowledge of a destination.

In 2017 visits on a Uniworld River Cruise to France in April and in July aboard a Regent Seven Seas cruise from Venice, Italy to Barcelona, Spain further enhanched my knowledge of Europe.

Still many more wonderful countries to explore and learn about so my first hand knowledge of the world enables me to better plan and advise my clients.

I look forward to planning travel to many amazing destinations where having Virtuoso as my partner allows me to help my clients experience the world in luxury.
