ABOUT US
Frans Aeyelts
Frans was born in the Netherlands where he received his formal education. He first studied graphic design, followed by industrial printing techniques and management. It was the fine arts which captured his imagination in the end, allowing him to express himself without restriction.
His other interest was the ocean which led to employment with Fisheries and Oceans in Nova Scotia. This offered another opportunity to study various aspects of offshore sailing. Eventually he did sail his own home-built boat to the West Indies.
Frans returned to drawing and painting however, and gradually took on a teaching role. Classes are offered in drawing and watercolour techniques. Other art related endeavours include conducting workshops and commission work (house, garden and boat portraits.)
Frans is thrilled to be offering a watercolor workshop in Italy and is excited to share his talents with others in such a splendid setting.

Franco was born and raised in Italy and in his heart still considers it his home. He loves sharing his insights and love of this beautiful country.
Kay lived and worked in Florence and has wonderful memories of her experience there. She knows the area very well and has wonderful connections throughout this region.
Our vision is to provide personal growth opportunities for you while you are exploring Italy and to offer experiences that encourage celebration of other cultures. There are so many wonderful things we can all learn from each other as we visit people and places around the world. We provide safe and quality travel that allows you to be in another country not simply as a tourist but more as a compassionate individual interested in connecting with others in the world.
We want to share the beauty and excitement of this amazing country with people who we know will appreciate and celebrate this enchanting part of the world.
