✨ OCTOBER 9-31 PROFITS SUPPORT WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF ✨ For the next two weeks, all profits from sold guides will be donated to Manna FoodBank, providing food and hygiene products to 16 counties in western North Carolina. Questions? Reach out! Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!

Ciao! My name is Danielle and I'm a Californian from San Diego, who's been living full time in Florence, Italy since 2020. I studied in Florence in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with the food, culture, and history, and made it my mission to move back. I moved right before the pandemic, and staying here through all the lockdowns and pandemic life really helped me discover slow travel and find all of Italy's beauty, including lesser known gems, and off the beaten path travel spots. During my three years in Florence, I have wrote for publications like The Florentine, done freelance marketing with restaurants and a travel agency, giving me high insight into the best destinations, foodie spots, and more. I am here to help you make the most of your vacation in Italy with curated itineraries for every type of traveler and digital maps to help you enjoy THE BEST food each region has to offer. Let me do the work so you can just relax and enjoy, without any stress! I've had a very unique experience living in Italy the last 4 years, as I made my official move right before the pandemic, after visiting for years. Because of this I learned to travel locally and deeply throughout the numerous incredible destinations in Italy and for that I cater my travel services to finding the most local and mindful experiences, keeping true to discovering and appreciating Italy's culture.

Hello, I am Charlotte De Giorgi I am from Italy 🇮🇹🍕 . I really like to travel and I would love to help people do that too . I am 19 almost 20 years old I have always been traveling since I was a young girl 🎀 I’ve been in a lot of different places and I’ve seen a lot of cultures and people and I will never get tired of it . I love planning and finding things to do ,so I cannot wait to figure out new plans and new destinations to help anyone who need a little guidance . 💕 Despite my young age I am really good in finding things to experience and do in new places I’ve been planning all of my trips and I always found them to be amazing and never disappointing . As I said I grew up in Italy but I was born with a double citizenship in both Italy and Switzerland which definitely made me more open minded and I think that made me really excited about finding new experiences and I hope I'll help you too.

Italian curious traveller - discovering new places is my favorite hobby! My name is Giorgia, I grew up in Italy and spent my whole childhood travelling around with my family. After high school I got the opportunity to go study in the US while being on a softball scholarship and of course I had to take it :) I spent two years there, until last summer I decided to follow my dreams and share my passion for travelling with others - I am now a licensed tour leader in Italy and I studied travel designing to prepare custom itineraries! I love both city sightseeing and hiking (with my dog), so I like trips that combine those two things. I believe Italy in particular has a lot of undiscovered natural beauties, which deserve attention as much as the big cities. If you like discovering a country through its cities, but you also want the chance to explore it from a different point of view, you are in the right place!

Hi, I’m Laura, thanks for coming to my page! I tell a little more about myself :) I was born and raised in Italy, specifically in Piedmont 🏔️ Since I was a little girl I developed a strong passion for travel, but it was when I moved to Milan for university that I really start to follow this passion Milan is the perfect city for this because it is so well connected with all Italy by trains, planes and buses I have been exploring all over Italy for years now and I can tell I am an expert in that! I have been to all the most famous places, and after covering the basis I started to look for the unbeaten places.. And I found out they are even better!

Hello fellow travelers! Welcome to my budget friendly page! My name is Roxana and I am a 26 year old girl from Romania, Europe. I have been traveling since I was 14 years old, but I've done most of my traveling in my adult years. I have already been to 16 countries so far and I am looking forward to many more. As far as my traveling goes, what I always try to do is travel without breaking the bank, I don't want just one week vacation per year where I leave all my savings, I am always on the lookout for cheap flight tickets and so I try to travel as much as possible, usually I visit around 7 places each year. So buckle up and get ready, because once you've been bitten by the travel bug there's no going back, and if you do it the way I do it you will really never want to stop!

I pay attention to detail when researching local restaurants, accommodations, and activities and I encourage you to try new things to step out of your comfort zone, like I did with my mother. I love working with mid-range budget travelers, like me, because I know how hard it is to earn money and how easily and quickly it is to spent in a vacation. Whether it’s discovering Romania's enchanting landscapes, Quebec's charm or Ontario's natural wonders, my unique expertise ensures each trip is a revelation.

Hi! I'm Lucy, the type-A, overly organized, travel enthused person behind Getaway Goose. I'm everyone's favorite travel companion because I'm that friend. The one who plans a trip down to the minute. The one who has thought of everything, packed everything, and wants to do everything. As my dad put it so eloquently in his Father of the Bride speech, "if you want to have a good vacation, just have Lucy go there first." I specialize in incredibly detailed travel itineraries that ensure you get the most bang for your buck and most experiences for your travel time on every single trip. You can expect detailed timings along with any and all pre-trip arrangement information to guarantee every second of your trip is spent in vacation-mode not the black hole of "what do we do?", "where do we eat?", and "when should we go?" My husband is my most frequent travel companion, but I am no stranger to planning trips for large groups of people, and all of my plans could also be modified for solo or family travel with children. I hope you'll count me as your newest travel buddy and enjoy all the adventures I have to share!

An American in Paris... Milan, Lisbon, Athens, London... I grew up between the Southwest and the Gulf Coast, but feel most at home in a bustling European city, typically with one of my trusty canvas totes by my side! I am a firm believer that anyone can travel well, regardless of budget, and I want everyone to understand that there’s more out there than just the popular spots you see on instagram. I yearn to connect with the locals wherever I travel, leading to authentic (and sometimes unexpected) adventures. I consider myself an off-the-beaten-path type of traveler, avoiding crowded areas and seasons, searching for hidden gems wherever I find myself in the world. I take pride in carefully curating trips for the traveler I am booking for, making for an extremely unique and memorable trip!

Hello! My full-time career is building unique, fully customized luxury travel itineraries to all corners of the world. Having lived abroad in Hungary, Spain, UK, Germany, and Hong Kong and traveled to a total of 70 countries, I ultimately decided to dedicate my life to helping others achieve their travel goals through my boutique luxury travel agency, Foray.

I'm continuously on the road traveling myself, and speaking and meeting with hotel and tour partners worldwide to stay up to date on their destinations. I absolutely love to help advise on topics such as: -- The best routing for an itinerary -- The best luxury hotels in each destination -- Which attractions to skip, which not to miss, and how best to plan ahead and avoid crowds -- Best modes of transportation and how to book -- Help narrow down destinations when you can't choose, and help suggest ones you may not have thought about -- Group travel: how to book and negotiate a room block, air, book activities, etc. -- Cruises: which cruise line and style is right for you? -- Group tour companies: how to choose the right company and experience for you. -- California travel: As a California native, there's nowhere I know better than here! Whether it's a full road trip or Yosemite, Big Sur, the desert, Tahoe, redwoods, or LA, I have loads of insider tips for California travel. -- And much more - if you'd like to know if I can assist on a particular topic, please ask! Depending on what we discuss, I may be able to assist with booking hotels, cruises, or tours for you with additional perks or promotions that are only available when booking through a travel advisor.
