Manuela Cardillo
Born in the heart of Naples, but now calling the northern beauty of Brescia home, I am a travel enthusiast on a mission to share the wonders of Italy with other explorers.
From Madrid and Tenerife's sun-drenched streets to Benidorm's lively shores, I have lived, worked, and explored some of Europe’s most vibrant destinations.
I absolutely love planning italian trips—it's not just my job, it’s my passion! From choosing the perfect destinations to organizing every detail, I’m here to make sure your travels are as seamless and memorable as possible.
My goal? To visit as many places in the world as I can, but no matter where I go, I’m always proud to call Italy home.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I design travel experiences to Italy, tailored to meet the unique preferences of each traveler."
How did you get involved in travel?
"My passion for travel inspired me to pursue a degree in Languages for Tourism, followed by a master's in Tourism Management, to deepen my expertise in the field."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my most memorable travel moments was during a family trip to Capri. As we entered the Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), I was overcome with emotion. The water’s vibrant blue, glowing under the sunlight, was so surreal that I couldn’t help but cry. It was a breathtaking moment of pure wonder, reminding me how travel has the power to move you and create unforgettable memories."
