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 ✈️

I created this Substack to have a creative outlet to reflect on travel, life and culture (meaning, lots of musings around creativity, identity and self-development) but I also want to dive into responsible tourism and preserving cultural heritage, two areas that are very close to my heart. For more, find me on Instagram, The Italy Edit and Forbes.

I also offer custom travel planning and would love to help you with your next trip!
