A New Adventure Awaits
About us
Mary Elizabeth and Julian Kaufman
Mary Elizabeth and Julian began their marriage with a travel adventure in 1993. Julian, a first generation Italian-American, naturally wanted his new bride to see Italy from north to south, and that is what they did - for 30 days! They have been traveling throughout the world ever since. Mary Elizabeth began working in the travel industry in 2012, crafting distinct and bespoke travel experiences. Julian not only has shared in these travels but he has also acquired expertise through his connections with the industry. They launched Via Curato to help others enjoy these unique and transformative travel experiences around the world.
