OUR STORY
Ciao a tutti!
Hi, I'm Sarah! Let me take you on a whirlwind journey from the USA to the enchanting land of Italy that I now call home. Picture this: in 2014, I decided to begin a journey of a lifetime by studying abroad in the heart of Rome. Little did I know, it would be just the beginning…
Italy didn't just steal my heart; it took my soul on a rollercoaster of culture, mouthwatering cuisine, poetic language, and some of the warmest folks you'll ever meet. Seriously, it's like living in a movie. I developed this unbreakable bond with the place itself.
Italy's transformative power hit me like a ton of gelato. So, I made a bold move: after graduating from university, I packed up my entire life and moved to Italy officially in the spring of 2015! It was all about quality over quantity, a perspective shift that turned my life into a masterpiece.
Living abroad is like a crazy rollercoaster ride, but guess what? I'm here to tell you to embrace the unknown! I'm all about advocating for taking risks, making those life-altering decisions, and soaking up every bit of experience this world has to offer. I'm also doing it all while raising a bunch of little adventurers of my own in the beautiful scenery of South Italy.
Over the years I’ve spent living in Italy, I’ve discovered new and wonderful things about the locals, hidden gems, food, and culture. When the COVID-19 pandemic stopped the entire world in its tracks (including tourism), I always kept a positive mindset knowing that one day, when all of this was behind us, people would want to travel again. And I wanted to be there when the doors reopened to showcase the beauty of Italy and beyond.
Thus, in July of 2020, Luxama Travel was born. It's not just a job; it's a passion. I'm all about curating those breathtaking vacations and dropping travel wisdom like confetti. As a proud affiliate of TRAVELLUSTRE and as an honored Virtuoso Member, Luxama Travel has flourished immensely in the travel industry. And by opening so many new doors in the world of luxury, we now offer expertise globally, helping you explore not only Italy but also worldwide destinations.
Our philosophy is simple: luxury has a different definition for everyone, and it’s our luxury to help you find yours. Whether it's a cozy boutique hotel in Paris, a vineyard retreat in Tuscany, or a sun-soaked villa on the Amalfi Coast, we believe everyone deserves a touch of luxury in their life.
Through Luxama Travel, I'm on a mission to broaden horizons, bridge gaps, and share the insider scoop on exploring stunning destinations worldwide. Come on, join the party-I'm extending an invite for you to experience the magic I've uncovered, whether it’s along the Amalfi Coast or in a faraway paradise!
It’s not just about the luxurious vacation, but also a way of giving back to the incredible communities that bring so much color into our lives and making those memories that will last a lifetime.
Ciao for now!
Sincerely,
Sarah L. Thompson

Why Luxama?
Half Luxury & Half Ama—meaning 'Love' in Italian.
That's the experience I want every traveler to feel when they journey with us at Luxama Travel.
Our mission is to create travel experiences that go beyond the ordinary. I want my clients to fall in love—not just with the destination, but with its culture, its people, and its unique charm. At Luxama Travel, we believe that luxury is personal—it's about discovering what makes your heart sing, whether that's a secluded beach in Greece, a historic château in France, or a cozy villa in the Italian countryside.
If, by the end of your journey, you find yourself dreaming of making a destination your new home like I did with Italy, then I know I’ve truly succeeded.
“Luxury has a different definition for everyone”
