I’m Marnie Morrione
Founder & Travel Designer
Through decades of travel experience in Italy and building deep connections, the founding of Amoria Journeys is the natural culmination of my life’s work. Welcome!
The name Amoria is created from ‘Amore’ for my love of Italy and my last name ‘Morrione’. Why ‘Journey’? Journeys are filled with exploration, knowledge and growth as travelers.
My Mission…
To craft deeply personal and meaningful journeys to Bella Italia for individuals, families, couples and friends. I am passionate about Italy's rich culture, breathtaking landscapes, and exquisite cuisine. I believe that every traveler deserves an unforgettable experience tailored to their unique interests and preferences.
With my expert knowledge and extensive network of local partners, I go beyond traditional travel itineraries to create customized journeys that capture the essence of Italy. Whether you're dreaming of exploring ancient ruins in Rome, strolling through picturesque Tuscan vineyards, or indulging in authentic gelato along the canals of Venice, I am dedicated to curating exceptional travel experiences that leave a lasting impression.
I understand that travel is a deeply personal endeavor, and that's why I take the time to listen to your desires and aspirations. I will work closely with you to design a tailor-made itinerary OR you can join a customized tour ensuring that every moment of your trip is taken care of and filled with cherished memories.
From luxurious accommodations and private tours to hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path discoveries, I strive to exceed your expectations and provide you with an authentic and immersive Italian experience. My commitment to excellence extends to every aspect of your journey, from the moment you step foot in Italy until the day you reluctantly bid farewell.
With Amoria Journeys, you can trust that your travel experience will be thoughtfully planned, meticulously executed, and infused with my genuine love for Italy. Let me guide you on a transformative journey, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant culture, savor the flavors of regional cuisine, and create lifelong connections with the people and places that make Italy truly remarkable.
About Me
Travel has always been an important part of my life and essential to me personally, professionally and intellectually. At an early age, I lived and studied in Brazil. In my twenties, I volunteered in Costa Rica and Guatemala. Later, in my professional life, I led U.S. government trade missions across the globe. I have always been curious and seek new knowledge and experiences in different cultures, languages and people.
Studying in Bologna for my graduate degree, I connected with my Italian family roots. From those years of study, further travel and extended stays, I continued to build relationships with trusted Italian partners. These expert guides help me provide the highest quality service to my clients today. I am also fortunate to have two seasoned specialists as my mentors, Libby Lubin and Nancy deConcillis of Italian Journeys. (www.italianjourneys.net)
