I ’ m Welsh by birth , but I moved to Italy at the age of 18 , so my unique background gives me great perspective . On one hand , I adore Italy — her beautiful landscapes , magical atmosphere , and delicious food and wine . But I ’ m also willing to recognize her flaws and ask locals for their opinions . I try give my travelers the full picture … and sometimes I reveal my Italian mother-in-law ’ s secret to a perfect lasagna as a parting gift .

Resides in Tallinn , Estonia Grand Baltic Sea Voyage 91 % of O . A . T . travelers rated Deniss as " excellent "
Everyone thinks they know Scandinavia and the Baltics , but you can ’ t truly appreciate each country ’ s unique spirit until you ’ ve visited . Poland , for example , is full of fascinating World War II history . Finland is made for naturelovers . And since gaining independence from the Soviets , Estonia ’ s leaders have been willing to take huge risks to create better lives for locals — and the progress so far is extraordinary .
