Hello. I'm Melanie, your local expert for Italy
Hello. I'm Melanie, your local expert for Italy
I'm half Italian and half British and I come from Salerno a city just off the Amalfi Coast.
I've always loved traveling and I found myself planning trips for family and friends and of course for myself, without even realizing it from an early age! I tried to stay away from the travel world during my early working life, but it just kept creeping up on me, I guess it’s in my DNA!
As a mum of 2 small children I also try my best to help with family trips, because we all know the saying happy children, happy parents, especially on holiday.
I like to think of myself as the friend in Italy you would like to plan your trip with, the one who helps you plan your trips from a local point of view.

They have excellent relationships with transport companies, hotels, and activity providers - ready to score the best deal for you!
