Michael Induni, President
Michael Induni is the president of Discover Europe Ltd, a company that he founded in 2001. Michael (Mike or Mick, to his English friends) was seduced by the travel industry while working as a tour guide for the American Council for International Studies during his vacations from Southampton University in England. Upon receiving his degree (in Naval Architecture!), he went to work for ACIS in their headquarters in Boston on a temporary assignment for three months. Ten years later, he had risen to the post of Director of Operations, and it was time to move on. After spending another ten years as Vice President of Lord Addison Travel, a company specializing in small group tours of the British Isles, he decided to indulge his true passion – travelling in continental Europe, particularly around the Mediterranean. As he says - “drop me on a hillside surrounded by vineyards and olive groves and I’m a happy man.” If there happened to be a Greek or Roman ruin in the view, that would just be the icing on the cake.

Alex Induni, Director of Operations
Alex is our Director of Operations and handles flight bookings and other day-to-day tasks around the office. Having spent most of his adult life in the mountains of Colorado, any place where the temperature is below freezing and the mountain scenery is breathtaking is the place for him.
He traveled extensively with his father (Michael Induni) while growing up — He learned to swim on France’s south coast, chased falcons in England, rode scooters in Mallorca, and picked pomegranates in Greece.
He dreams of exploring the Alps in Northern Italy and enjoying some authentic Italian food.
