Addie Mattei

Travel has been my life, having first taught travel and tourism at the New York Institute of Technology, followed by over 30 years of owning my own local agency.

These days, I have the time to travel and enjoy planning very special and memorable holidays for my clients without the distractions of being an owner. I truly enjoy working with my clients and making sure they have a special experience with every trip.

What do you love about travel? 

I love to travel and visit new destinations, and I enjoy interesting people.

Most people who enjoy traveling are very interesting and enjoy exchanging views and ideas. For me, “to travel is to live.”

What has been your favorite travel experience?

My personal favorite trip was exploring Egypt. I love the history and the culture. 

However, the place I enjoy visiting over and over again is Italy. Its history, food, wine, and of course, music and art remind me how wonderful life really is if we only take the time to appreciate it.
