Ciao, I’m Celia, your travel advisor in Italy! I'm a professional travel writer and itinerary designer. I share my local insights and knowledge with travelers looking to go beyond the ordinary. Ask a question or request a custom travel itinerary. Contact me.

Are you planning a trip to Milan & Lake Como?

Save time searching for answers about traveling to Italy by asking a travel advisor who lives here! You can have a live conversation (with a real person), ask questions, and put your mind at ease by talking with me, an expat living here for over 20 years with local insights and knowledge. There is so much information out there, and so little time to search for it! You can cut that time in half by asking someone who lives in the area. I’d be happy to be your travel advisor in Italy.
