Battaglino

As a former hotel general manager, restauranteur, and life-long traveler, I’ve seen all sides of the hospitality industry - the good and the bad, but mostly the joy people get when they discover a wonderful new taste, destination, or experience. Especially when those discoveries are authentic, delivered in total comfort, and bring people together.

I’ve traveled throughout Europe, Asia and the America’s. I love food and wine and music and adventure and people and sometimes, just lying on the beach. I like the touristy spots and the hidden gems. I’ve traveled with my family and friends, solo, and with a group of strangers. All very different experiences and all memorable.

My experience in hospitality, coupled with my interest in travel have led me to my dream job. Now, as a luxury travel designer at Rising Tide Travel, a proud independent affiliate of TRAVELLUSTRE, I have the resources and professional support to curate truly unforgettable travel experiences tailored to your unique tastes and interests. I love what I do, and it shows.
