I help busy professional women 50+ create journeys that go far beyond a vacation. Because travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about who you become. ✨In this episode, I sit down with Amy Keats, founder of Kefi ToursAfter 30+ years in New York’s textile business, Amy turned her lifelong love of Italy and Paris into a travel company that curates off-the-beaten-path, small group tours designed for connection, culture, and discovery.🚨 Amy has a new Italy trip coming up soon—and you’ll hear why traveling with Kefi is so unique. We’ll talk about:✅ The magic of slow travel in Italy✅ How to uncover hidden gems beyond the tourist trail✅ Why travel is a doorway to transformation and joy👉 Follow Amy:Instagram: @kefitours.akFacebook: Kefi ToursLinkedIn: Amy Keats✨ And don’t forget—I’m also leading a transformational trip to India in 2026: culture, wellness, and soul-deep renewal.
