Our mission is to help you experience Italy's far-flung places, fading traditions, and phenomenal nature through genuine connection with locals. 

​

We know that planning a unique and authentic trip to a foreign country can be daunting, to say the least. You're probably wasting your weekends lost in the depths of internet forums, reading advice from other non-Italian tourists that came before you. You've spent weeks on it already and still don't know which places to keep and which to cut - not to mention how you'll reach these places once you're in Italy or even how you'll save the money in the first place!

​

Close your tabs. Pour yourself a glass of wine. We've spent years traveling to the tiniest dots on Italy's map. We've flagged buses and trains and we've walked when we had to. We know the ins and outs of planning a trip that is authentic and meaningful and we want to share it all with you!

​

Why? Because we think getting off-the-beaten-path helps the world become a place that respects and protects the wisdom held within the roots of its cultures. It lessens the strain on overtouristed destinations and spreads the economic opportunity to smaller communities. It helps keep fading traditions and villages alive! And if we can help with that, well we're all in! Are you?
