Hi! I’m Maria, italian Travel Creator with a passion for Italy and a background as a travel and food writer. A passionate traveler myself, I constantly explore my own country, Italy, far and wide, from North to South, discovering and testing (and tasting too, of course ;) off-the- beaten-path destinations, exciting experiences and delicious food. Over time I shared my extensive, first-hand knowledge of Italy through my articles and on my blog Compagnia dei Viaggiatori. Now it's the pillar to create original travel guides and tailor-made itineraries for discerning travellers to Italy willing to live an authentic Italian travel experience. Will you be the next one?

Hi! I am Anna a Rochester, NY based travel planner. I am here to help you with every step of your next vacation. I can help you plan a luxury vacation without that luxury price tag! I work full time as a Events Coordinator and am incredibly passionate about planning and travel. I want to see as many countries and cities as I can and hope to help you get away too. My passion for travel began in 2019 when I lived abroad in Florence, Italy for a year. Because of this experience, I have since been to 19 countries and visited many cities in them! My favorite will always be Florence, but Copenhagen, Denmark and Ljubljana, Slovenia are close seconds! I specialize in travels to Italy, UK, France and love to plan trips to smaller, less traveled countries and cities! Outside of travel and my day job I love to read (anything fantasy) and I spend time cooking and working out with my boyfriend. I am also an avid plant enthusiast and have over 80 plants in my 2 bedroom apartment (much to the dismay of my boyfriend). In the past 3 years I have booked several vacations for clients. The two I consider my greatest achievements were both international adventures. One was for 40 days, 4 people across 9 countries. This trip cost each person less than $6,000 each and they got to experience so many different foods, stays, activities and places! The second was a 14 day, 11 person trip across 2 countries and 4 cities. This trip was more luxurious, however, the family that worked with me saved $30,000 compared to working with a different travel agent. Both trips highlight my ability to plan different kinds of vacations, while keeping your budget in mind.

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.

My itineraries, maps, and guides focus on la dolce vita, with the best food and views that so many people miss out on! 🍝 I’ve lived in Canada my whole life but most recently in Florence, Italy! I've travelled all around Italy from the mountains to the sea and I'm here to share my hidden gems and tips for your trip. I’ll help you enjoy slow travel so you can have an authentic experience and fall in love with the country and the people 💛

Hi there, I'm Mayu! 👋 I'm the gal behind @whyldandfree, a travel account focussed on taking the guess work out of designing your dream getaway. 🏝️ I was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾 where I lived for most of my childhood before making the move to Melbourne, Australia🇦🇺 where I lived for over 15 years. Recently, I've moved to Paris, France 🇫🇷 with my husband and we now call the beautiful city of lights home, at least for the next little while. I've travelled to 31 countries and constantly adding to that tally. My passion for travel came from a young age, where I travelled extensively around South East Asia with my family. Now, I love exploring new cities, cultures, getting to know locals and let's not forget discovering the local cuisine! 😀 Travel to me is not just about ticking off another city but about really sinking your teeth into a new place and pulling back the curtain to discover more than just the popular tourist hot spots. Its about really getting a feel for the city, its people, the food, culture and customs. 🥰 Hope you find something helpful here that gets you one step closer to designing your dream trip 🤩 Happy exploring! ✈️

Travel is my life. I travel to experience the culture, the food, and the people of the places I visit. Don't get me wrong, every now and then I like to do the touristy things or take a vacation just to relax but my specialty is finding ways to experience the culture without feeling like a tourist. My name is Sierra. I grew up in Washington, D.C., and have been traveling since I was a kid. I've lived in Costa Rica, Florence Italy, in a van, and in and out of Airbnbs across the continental U.S. while traveling with my husband and dog. I've been a digital nomad, got the girls' trip out of the group chat, and traveled solo, but most of all I love adventuring with my husband and dog. When I met my husband he had never really traveled and didn't think it was possible to travel unless you were rich. Over the years, we've learned to travel no matter what our budget is or where we want to go. We've done everything from hostels to five-star resorts to boutique eco hotels and camper vans. We know that each vacation is different depending on what type of trip you're looking for and that is why my guides are tailored to different types of travel personas. Are you looking for a wild girls' trip in Cabo? I've got you. Interested in exploring Costa Rica's off-the-beaten-path beaches? I'll share my favorites. Looking for that perfect romantic trip (so much so that this is where my husband proposed!)? Don't worry I'll share with you our perfect day. I love sharing all of my favorite things about travel and hope you too will enjoy each of my favorite places around the world! Reach out to me to schedule a travel consultation or book a custom itinerary!

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. Most recently in the past few years I've visited France, Italy, UK, Bali, Jordan, Mexico, Namibia, South Africa, Greenland, Iceland, Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, and Cuba. 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. Please don't hesitate to reach out, I look forward to connecting with you! Cheers, Sarah
