What is a Moveable Feast?
This year Carol brings back the exciting “moveable” aspect of her trips with a selection of outdoor/active trips in both Italy and beyond.
I don’t just lead travel experiences—I create deeply personal journeys that feel like a love letter to life. With Moveable Feasts, I invite a small circle of travelers into my world, where every destination becomes a living canvas for storytelling, nature, and shared awakening. These journeys move at a soulful rhythm—slow, intimate, and intentional—inviting you to reconnect with yourself and others through beauty, conversation, and the Italian art of savoring.
Rooted in the traditions of Italy, each Feast celebrates the harmony of movement and nourishment—the simple, profound joy of walking through the land and sharing meals from it. Every moment, from laughter beneath a starry sky to a meal with a local artisan, becomes part of a story of connection: to place, to people, and to yourself.

- Intimate, small-group journeys through Italy’s hidden corners
- Experiences that blend storytelling, art, and connection
- Rooted in the Italian rhythm of movement + nourishment
- Handpicked places and genuine people woven into each day

Stories From the Heart of Our Travelers
“I’ve just returned from a fantastic trip to Tuscany, arranged by Moveable Feast. One of my challenges as a traveler is a severe gluten allergy and as anyone who has this problem knows, it often means eating cardboard and foregoing dessert, but on this trip, I feasted happily alongside the rest of the group, my allergy considered at every meal. Highly recommended!”
“By far, this was the best vacation of my life. Words have a hard time capturing the magic Carol put together for our group.”
“Carol is knowledgeable, lively, charming and attentive. Her contacts with expert guides in the smaller cities made our experience particularly informative, and her familiarity with excellent small hotels and fine restaurants was most helpful.”
“I would like to thank Carol for her care and attention to detail in creating a life-altering experience; for her enthusiasm, professionalism, trusted supplier relationships, and for the knowledge of our superior products she shared so freely and greatly.”
“Carol’s passion is evident in her infectious enthusiasm and desire to share her love of Italy! Not only does she have a broad and deep knowledge regarding the history, arts, food and wine of the area you are visiting, she knows all the little nuances to successfully negotiate your day.”
“It amazes me how much she knows about each area, guides that will give me the best excursions, the most amazing restaurants and places to stay, and the perfect way to put it all together.”
Your Guide to Italy & Beyond
Sharing her heritage, experience, and love for authentic Italian journeys.
Although American by birth, Carol’s roots run deep in Italy. Her grandfather, Pietro Sicbaldi, emigrated from the small village of Villaromagnano in Piedmont in the early 1900s, planting the seeds of a family tree farm still tended by his descendants today.
Driven by curiosity and a love of language, Carol eventually followed her heritage back to Italy—connecting with her cousins, perfecting the language, and immersing herself in its traditions. After years guiding trips across the peninsula, she made Italy her permanent home and has spent nearly two decades crafting intimate, food-focused journeys.
With Carol’s Moveable Feasts, you’ll discover the Italy of artisans and families—cheesemakers, bakers, winemakers, farmers, and storytellers who keep traditions alive. Each experience is tailored, blending hikes, picnics, wine tastings, and home-cooked meals with the joy of slowing down to savor life’s simple pleasures.
Carol invites you to step into this rhythm—where heritage, flavor, and beauty meet—and celebrate a simplicity too rare in today’s world.
