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!

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.

My biggest takeaway was her ideas for using social media as a resource for learning about the people from the people. Great idea. Real nice gal too.” -Ray “Nicki’s consultation was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns with ease and intelligence. She’s definitely someone to talk to before you visit or relocate to Buenos Aires or other locations in Argentina.” -Paul “My family and I are about to embark on a 3 month trip through Argentina, we had been binge watching youtube videos from Nicki so we scheduled a call to dive deeper. Nicki helped give feedback to our itinerary and gave great local perspective from cell phones to don’t miss desserts. It was super beneficial to get the added insight.“ -Andi

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.

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!

Ciao! My name is Gianna. I'm here to help you prepare for your upcoming trip without having to spend hours of research for yourself. My Guides Focus on: -Places to stay -Itineraries ranging from 2+ days -Where to eat, drink and party (if you like) -Memorable experiences __________________________________________________________ About Me: -Based in Milan, Italy. 🇮🇹 -I have lived in Italy for 7 years.

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! In my guides I want to summarise the knowledge about Italy I built in these years so you can squeeze the best from every place without loosing time 😉 I also share my experiences on my instagram page @from5to9_, feel free to follow if you are interested in Italy related content ☺️

Ciao a tutti! I'm Andrea and I am from Italy. I live in Latina, one hour away from Rome, but my origins are from Lecce province in south Italy. Whenever I have the opportunity I love to hop on a plane and explore the world. I usually travel solo, whether for pleasure or for business. I love to eat and everywhere I go I always try to eat like a local to savour better my travelling experience.

This is not your one-week relax and chill retreat vacation recommendations at the beach. I am more of a live-my-life-to-its-fullest and make-the-most-of-my-day type of traveler. Ironically, I love equally to travel solo or with a bunch of friends/family, eat old sandwiches on a backpacking trip or lavish on gastronomic food, a spontaneous adventure where we decide at 9pm where we are sleeping or a day-by-day planned trip. No matter where, how, with whom, and for how long, I choose to prioritize the experience and memories. And with a friendly budget. Sometimes, budget friendly means only booking a room on Airbnb in order to enjoy a nice brunch. Or, going to the grocery store to balance out an expensive scenic train ride. It's all about balance! At 24 years old, I am nowhere to be a travel expert. But, I lived in 4 different countries already, across two continents, and have a google maps saturated with saved pins. My obsession in finding the best gems, hidden spots, good food, fun cocktails, and unique experiences, has brought me here. You will find a good mix of shorts spontaneous weekends trips up to longer adventures; road-trip itineraries to nice hotels; Instagram- or TikTok-inspired worthy spots to unknown local gems; photogenic sceneries to more authentic views and smells. And occasionally, great spots to relax on your adventure. Because even if I enjoy walking 20'000 steps a day, I also enjoy a good spa/beach day as well!

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!

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! ✈️

How I can help: 👉 I balance top attractions with off-the-beaten-path experiences to maximize your vacation time. 👉I offer various services to suit your needs, from 1:1 consultations and curated guides to fully customized travel planning, making European travel stress-free. Explore my Thatch store for free or ready-to-buy guides and itineraries. 👉I understand that travellers are looking for more out of their holiday. I focus on authentic experiences representing local culture, leveraging my strong relationships with local partners for the latest insider information. What I'm a great fit for: 👉Mature travellers, couples, and solo travellers who enjoy authentic experiences, great food and wine, hidden gems, classic sites, and the art of slow travel. I believe slow travel is an approach that emphasizes deeper connections with destinations by taking time to experience local culture, food, and everyday life, often prioritizing quality over quantity and minimizing fast-paced itineraries.

Hi there, I’m Rachael, originally from Chicago, and I’ve been bitten by the travel bug for over a decade now. There’s just something about the whole process – from planning the trip to living it up in new places and then cherishing those memories afterward – that gets me all excited. Even though I’ve got the whole family and work thing going on, my craving for adventure never fades. And I'm not bound by any one way of traveling - whether it's with my family, my partner, my girlfriends, or even venturing out solo, I embrace every opportunity to see the world. I’ve come to realize that the world is like this giant storybook, and I’m all about sharing those stories. My goal is to inspire others to embrace their wanderlust, break out of their comfort zones, and start crafting their own unforgettable tales. Let’s explore the world together, one amazing destination at a time!

I love to explore cities by foot, taking in the sights and culture at a leisurely pace while talking to as many locals as I can! Good food, drinks, and coffee at reasonable prices are important to me. I spent a about a year traveling Europe as a solo-backpacker and I loved every minute of it!

All for budget travel and good eats 😋 I’ve been travelling solo since I was 18 years old! I love art, history, and good food. I’ve travelled to over 15 countries and 54 cities on a budget, with plenty more to come! Currently living in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 , but I have previously lived in La Spezia, Italy 🇮🇹 and therefore have travelled extensively through Italy - especially around Cinque Terre!

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!

Certified travel advisor, Italy travel expert & founder of Smitten Italy Travel Co. Think of me as your Italy travel planning BFF! Let’s plan your best (and most delicious) trip ever. ✌️

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!

Hi! I am Kat, a digital nomad & freelancer. I studied abroad in Spain and have been lucky enough to travel consistently since starting a freelance marketing business. I am a travel aficionado for summers in Europe, winter skiing escapes in the US and Switzerland, and winter hideouts in the Bahamas & Jamaica. Food is my fuel, and I am always in search of a good cocktail. If you are traveling with small groups of friends or family, I have the recs for you.

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. 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
