Annabella in Kathmandu, Nepal - Vito Cavallo

Annabella Gualdoni is a lawyer by education but works an educator and real estate professional. She has bought, sold, and renovated numerous old houses, including her own 1916 Craftsman home and her 1901 Victorian rental property. Annabella teaches community education courses in international cooking (for children and adults) and dating/relationships (and also serves as a private dating coach).

She was a pioneer in the early days of online dating, and in May 1999 she won the Boston Phoenix "Personal Ad of the Month" contest. Better yet, she simultaneously won the heart of the man who became her husband. For many years the couple has taught marriage preparation classes through the Boston College Alumni Association. They also explore the world on a budget and have their own website dedicated to affordable travel.

Annabella has a B.A. in International Development Studies from the University of California, Berkeley and an M.A. in International Relations from Boston University as well as a J.D. from Boston College Law School. She is fluent in Italian and Spanish and also speaks French and makes her home in Newton, Massachusetts. Her hobbies and leisure activities include yoga, reading, yard sales, and museum-going.
