Let us introduce ourselves
A few words about our founder
Alison Frey – Owner and President of Trasformativa Travel
I discovered my passion for the travel industry after returning from a “life changing” trip to Italy. Upon my return I realized that I wanted to share the gift of travel with others so they could discover the world as I am doing.
I love traveling to destinations and fully immersing myself into the culture by getting to know the people, the food and what makes each destination unique. I love traveling off the beaten path to make that trip really exciting and unique. These are the types of travel experiences I provide to my customers.
Some of my favorite places to visit time and time again are Jamaica, Italy and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Every time I travel to one of these locations I feel like I’m coming home.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved experiencing new things, learning about different cultures, and taking in the beauty of every new experience. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I enjoy trying new cultural dishes and especially love doing so in the Caribbean. I’d say that I bring a unique perspective to travel as I spent over 15 years working as a paralegal and an event planner (part-time); both helping to tone my attention to detail. Therefore, through this lens, I am able to find and plan fun and unique experiences. At the heart of it all, I simply love to help people bring their plans and aspirations to life.

Travel Specialist
The travel bug hit me when I spent six months in Italy for culinary school. During my education there we traveled all over Italy to discover how each region is different and what each has to offer. It was an amazing experience and one of the most exciting times of my life. I love to travel and explore new destinations whenever I can, and of course try new foods, immersing myself in the culture of the destination I am visiting. I am passionate about the travel industry, and I love helping my clients discover new and exciting destinations.
How it all came to be…
Our Philosophy
Our BackStory
The word “trasformativa” means transformative in Italian; and plays homage to how we got started in the travel industy.

And perfecto, Trasformativa Travel was born.
