Ciao! I’m Giulia, your local Italian friend, and I’ve always been that person who wants to experience a new place beyond the postcard landmarks. Whenever I travel—especially around Italy—I love diving deep into each town’s hidden alleys, local flavors, and secret spots known only to the people who call it home. Over the years, I found myself writing little guides for friends, family, and even my wedding guests, realizing how much I enjoy sharing my tips for discovering the real Italy!

The love for authentic travel experiences was inspired by my dad, our family’s self-appointed “Chief Travel Officer.” Growing up, he made every trip an adventure—pushing us to uncover corners of Italy most tourists rarely see. His curiosity became mine and with time, I realised how much all these adventures shaped the person I am today. Travel is now how I hope to inspire others to embrace the world, seek their own adventures, and create memories as extraordinary as the ones my dad gifted me.

Now, with so many requests for my guides and insights, it feels like the perfect time to share them more widely. My goal is simple: to help you explore Italy the way we locals do. From mouthwatering regional dishes to hidden gems you won’t find on every “Top 10” list, I want to open the door to a side of Italy that’s still largely a secret. I hope my passion for genuine and authentic travel inspires you to create your own unforgettable adventures in this beautiful country I’m lucky enough to call home. Andiamo?
