Ciao, I’m Livia!

I’m an Italian-American journalist, travel designer and digital strategist based in Rome. I hopped on my first flight at one month old and I haven’t stopped traveling since ✈️

After 15 years documenting Italy, I followed a lifelong dream to explore Asia — spending nearly a year across 16 countries, from Sri Lanka to Japan. This Substack is where I reflect on that journey and on the deeper themes that have shape a life of movement: a multi-cultural identity, feeling in-between, freedom and becoming.

You’ll find:

• Personal essays on solo travel and cross-cultural living

• Cultural commentary and behind-the-scenes reflections

• Thoughts on place, creativity and navigating an unconventional path

• The occasional shortlist of favorite finds or moments

You can also find me on Instagram and my website.

And if you’re dreaming of a trip, I also offer custom travel planning!
