People first.
Destinations follow.
A memorable journey does not begin with a checklist of places. It begins with a conversation: what makes you curious, what moves you and how much time you need.
I’m Silvia Ferrato. I listen to your ideas and turn them into a carefully designed itinerary, with the freedom to enjoy each stop your way and the reassurance of having someone to turn to.

The United States, your way.
Cities, national parks and roads to explore at your own pace. Your trip takes shape around the places you really want to experience.
Let’s talk about the US ↗From my travel notebook / United States
New Orleans, a city to savour slowly.
A square, a streetcar crossing town, the balconies of the French Quarter. These are the details I look for when I imagine a trip to the US: places to experience, not just photograph.
From first idea to departure, together.

Curiosity takes me far. Listening brings me back to you.
I design tailor-made journeys with a special focus on Japan and the United States. I love the research behind a good itinerary: choosing a stop for the right reasons, finding a comfortable pace and leaving room for surprises.
I also plan group trips and corporate experiences, where sharing the journey becomes part of its value.
