I first caught the travel bug when I was 6 years old and had already lived in 3 countries! The wild ride has continued since then, moving around for my career, travelling as a tourist, a travel writer and as a travel advisor. I have been lucky enough to explore extensively -- and write about -- every continent (except Antarctica, that remains on my bucket list, if you'd care to join), establish connections throughout them, and learn local cultures and languages, enabling me to provide travellers with a uniquely tailored travel experience. I'm originally from Italy, grew up around Europe and the US and currently reside in Denmark with my Danish wife and son. Below you can find a taste of what working with me as a travel advisor can look like. If it peaks your interest, simply fill out the form at the bottom and I'll get back to you!
