Italy

Discover Genoa, also known as La Superba (a nickname celebrating Genoa’s historic grandeur and noble character), through the lens of a professional photographer. As you walk through the twisting alleys of the Caruggi, you’ll find the city’s true character in its aged facades, lively squares, and unexpected corners that hold stories from centuries past. This experience welcomes both amateur and seasoned photographers to capture the unique light and details that reveal Genoa’s vibrant spirit.

The journey flows naturally, guided by Emanuele’s expert eye and insights into composition, perspective, and the art of storytelling through images.

Morocco

This is a fascinating, expert-led storytelling session paired with private dining—an intimate introduction to Morocco’s oral storytelling tradition. Set in Marrakesh, in a museum or studio venue, the evening unfolds in three stages, drawing you into a world of myth, memory, and ancestral wisdom. A professional storyteller brings to life the spirit of The Thousand and One Nights, while the rhythmic pulse of live Gnawa music adds a hypnotic energy to the experience.

A Moroccan feast, prepared by local chefs, anchors the experience. Each dish reflects the country’s diverse culinary heritage—layered, spiced, and deeply regional. As you savor these flavors, the stories and music surround you, turning the session into something between a performance and a fairy tale, as you wait—much like King Shahryar—for the next chapter to unfold.

Join this experience to be part of a thousand-year-old art form once heard in every square—and now reimagined for a new generation, and offered in English. 

What makes this experience unique is its deep immersion into Moroccan storytelling—an oral tradition passed from memory to memory over a thousand years. You’ll hear echoes of Arabian Nights and legendary voices from the past, but also of contemporary storytellers like your host, who are helping preserve and evolve this craft in the modern world.

Your host Zouhair trained in Marrakesh’s public squares and cafés, the same spaces where generations of hakawatis once held crowds spellbound. He studied under several of Morocco’s master storytellers and now works to revive storytelling in a world shaped by screens and shrinking attention spans.

Unlike a scripted show, each session is personal and alive—stories shift with each telling, shaped by audience and mood. You’ll be part of a cultural ritual that once filled Djemaa el-Fnaa Square and now finds new life in more intimate spaces. It’s entertainment, yes—but also memory, history, and identity passed from voice to voice, across 

Storytelling Dinner in Marrakesh or lunch: private Arabian Nights–style tales, Gnawa music & feast.

Japan

This experience offers a full immersion in the world of washi — Japanese handmade paper — woven into Kyoto’s architecture, rituals and daily life. For over a 1000 years, this humble material has carried story, structure and spirit across generations. Kyoto has long been a center of washi artistry, supplying paper to temples, palaces and traditional arts.

You’ll begin in the Kyoto Botanical Gardens, where you’ll learn about plants that form the base of washi and how the fibers are transformed by hand. From there, Emilie will guide you to artisan studios, offering a close look at traditional techniques and the lived artistry behind them.

Later, you’ll step inside a historic noble residence, where washi-lined walls and shoji screens show how paper softens light and defines space in Japanese design. The walk ends in a curated selection of shops in Demachiyanagi offering handmade washi — a way to see the best in the craft today, and an invitation to take home a piece of enduring culture.

Washi may be everywhere in Kyoto, but without context, it’s easy to overlook. Emilie, a researcher of traditional crafts, helps you see what’s hidden in plain sight — how paper threads through rituals, interiors, and craftsmanship. Her fluency in the language, culture, and material open doors you wouldn’t even know to knock on, translating not just words but values, processes, and small gestures. What might seem decorative becomes, with her insight, a story of continuity—one that connects you to the deeper logic of Kyoto’s design and tradition.

This experience is ideal for curious travelers who want to see how washi shapes light in tearooms, reinforces sliding doors, preserves scrolls, and appears in daily life. In between, you’ll pass through narrow lanes, behind sliding doors, and see spaces where washi is used to shape light, dampen sound, and define the place. Emilie’s long-standing relationships with craftspeople and designers are what make this experience uniquely personal. 

Culture Tour in Kyoto: Japanese washi in craft, ritual and design across gardens, studios & houses.

Washi, The Texture of Kyoto

A four-hour private guided experience through Kyoto with Emilie, including curated visits to washi-related sites. 

Where possible, you’ll walk between stops, as the city itself is part of the experience. Short taxi rides and any ticket or entry fees (if applicable) are covered.  

A stop for a drink and small snack is included, in a space where washi plays a role in either the interior design or presentation.

Comfortable closed-toe shoes — you’ll be on foot much of the time.
Socks, as some interiors may require shoe removal.
Water bottle.
If rain is expected, bring an umbrella or light rain jacket — Kyoto’s textures are especially beautiful in wet weather.
In summer, sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses) is recommended.

If you’d like to support the craftspeople, there’s a chance to buy directly from the studios — with absolutely no pressure to purchase.

The experience begins at the Botanical Gardens of Kyoto. Full meeting details will be provided upon booking by Emilie via Chat. 

Emilie has lived in Japan for over a decade, with most of that time spent walking the side streets of Kyoto — not just as a guide, but as a cultural observer and student of traditional craft. Her focus on washi, Japan’s handmade paper, began as a personal curiosity and evolved into a deeper exploration of how paper carries meaning in architecture, ritual, and everyday life. 

Emilie's close ties to Kyoto’s paper artisans, shrine workers, designers, and cultural stewards offer connections to people and places that leave a lasting impression. These long-standing relationships create a quiet kind of access — one that respects the work while making it approachable for travelers. Her background in arts and design allows her to frame tradition without simplifying it, and her style is grounded in presence: moving slowly, listening well, and opening doors you might not otherwise find.

Designed for first-time visitors who want more than surface-level tourism, this experience reveals Venice as a system of meanings, not just sights. It’s Venice for first-timers — reimagined and elevated. It begins along a familiar path: the mosaics of San Marco Basilica, the echoing chambers of the Doge’s Palace, and Biblioteca Marciana — but soon shifts rhythm with unexpected turns.

You’ll move through iconic spaces with a fresh gaze, noticing what’s often missed and tracing a thread of Venetian invention. After the morning’s wonders, pause for lunch at a chic bàcaro.

In the afternoon, visit Palazzo Grimani, a Renaissance gem with illusionistic frescoes, then Fondazione Querini Stampalia with its refined collection and Carlo Scarpa–designed garden. 

Your day ends with Lucia leaving you at a gondola stand, with the chance to arrange your own ride if you're interested, and reflect on a perfect day in Venice.

This is the day to do in Venice if your time is limited — insightful, layered, and deeply felt. What sets this full-day experience apart is how the familiar is recontextualized. Lucia leads with intention — highlighting what’s easy to overlook, linking architecture to smaller gestures, and showing how every corner of the city was designed to say something.

Her background in visual culture sharpens how she sees the city — and how you will. Venice has always used light, movement, and framing to shape perception. The Piazza becomes an arena of power. The Basilica, a visual narrative. You'll see that the theatricality isn’t a flourish — it’s foundational.

Palazzo Grimani slows the pace, allowing contrast and texture to come into focus. Lucia also shares stories and curiosities about the city’s squares and side streets, as you walk between stops, adding texture to the understanding of the place and culture. With Lucia, you learn to read the city as both structure and performance.

Your day with Lucia concludes near the Fondazione Querini Stampalia, at a small gondola stand tucked along one of Venice’s quiet canals. From here, you’re free to arrange your own gondola ride — if you wish — as a final moment of reflection and immersion. Lucia provides suggestions for a scenic route or timing if you're interested, but this part is entirely up to you.

Instead of ending at a tourist-heavy drop-off point, this transition is quiet and perfectly placed. The proximity to the Querini Stampalia — home to one of Venice’s most contemplative spaces — feels fitting. The gondola ride is not included, nor is it required. But the opportunity is there, and Lucia leaves you with enough knowledge and inspiration to experience it with new eyes. This ending underscores the spirit of the day: Venice, revealed not just through spectacle, but through depth, design, and choice.

Lucia leaves you at a gondola stand near Querini Stampalia for a self-arranged finale, if desired.

A bàcaro is a traditional Venetian tavern where locals gather for simple, flavorful meals and regional wines. Far from the formality of grand restaurants, these small, often family-run establishments offer an authentic glimpse into the city’s social life. With their wooden counters, chalkboard menus, and casual atmosphere, bàcari have long served as gathering places for conversation, connection, and the enjoyment of seasonal dishes.

The bàcaro embodies a living tradition where the rhythms of daily life unfold. Lunch here offers a natural pause between architectural wonders, immersing you in the Venetian way of blending conviviality with culinary heritage. It reflects how the city balances monumental beauty with intimate, communal rituals that have endured for generations.

Lunch at a chic bàcaro

The Basilica of San Marco is the spiritual and artistic heart of Venice, standing at the crossroads of Byzantine opulence and Western architectural innovation. Its five domes, golden mosaics, and intricate marble floors weave together centuries of religious devotion, political ambition, and cosmopolitan influence. Every surface tells a story—from the life of Christ and the Virgin to Venice’s own rise as a maritime republic. The Basilica is a place of worship but also a statement of power and identity, reflecting the city’s role as a bridge between East and West.

The Basilica functions as a visual manifesto. Its mosaics and architecture communicate Venice’s identity as a crossroads of cultures and power. The golden surfaces are not mere decoration but carefully designed narratives that connect biblical stories with the city’s political ambitions. Every element—from the soaring domes to the intricate marble floors—asserts Venice’s role as both a spiritual authority and a maritime republic shaped by trade, diplomacy, and artistic mastery.

Basilica di San Marco

The former residence of the Doge and the heart of Venetian political life, the Palazzo Ducale embodies the Republic’s unique balance of power, justice, and public spectacle. Its delicate Gothic exteriors—lace-like stone tracery and graceful arches—mask a complex interior where the machinery of state once operated. Opulent chambers once hosted the Great Council, the Senate, and secretive councils of the elite, while bridges and corridors linked the palace to the prisons, symbolizing both authority and accountability. Law, diplomacy, and theatricality blended here for centuries, making the Palazzo not just a seat of power but a living stage for Venice’s civic identity.

The Palazzo Ducale was conceived as a carefully designed theatre of governance. Its architecture balances openness and control, reflecting the Republic’s unique political philosophy. Spaces like the Great Council Hall projected ideals of civic participation, while smaller, more secretive chambers revealed the complexities of power and negotiation. Even the Bridge of Sighs—linking the palace to the prisons—served as both a functional passage and a potent symbol of justice and accountability. Every room, fresco, and architectural flourish contributed to the staging of Venice’s civic identity, where political transparency and ritualized authority coexisted in a carefully orchestrated display.

Palazzo Ducale

The Biblioteca Marciana is one of Europe’s earliest public libraries and a Renaissance masterpiece designed by Jacopo Sansovino. Located in the heart of Piazza San Marco, it was built to house Venice’s growing collection of classical texts. Its grand arcades, intricate façades, and frescoed ceilings reflect the humanist ideals of the time, celebrating knowledge as a civic value. The architecture complements the nearby Palazzo Ducale and Basilica, creating a monumental civic space that placed learning at the center of Venice’s public and cultural life.

The Biblioteca Marciana represents Venice’s Renaissance ambition to align knowledge, art, and civic identity. Designed as more than a repository of books, it was conceived as a monumental statement of the city’s role in preserving and advancing classical wisdom. Its architecture, adorned with frescoes and classical motifs, speaks to a society that valued learning as a foundation of prestige and power. The library stands as a testament to Venice’s vision of itself not only as a center of trade but as a guardian of intellectual and cultural heritage.

Biblioteca Marciana

After exploring Venice’s grand civic spaces, you follow Lucia through a quieter rhythm of the city. The walk from Biblioteca Marciana to Palazzo Grimani reveals a different Venice—one woven through campi (small squares), calli (narrow alleys), and sottoporteghi (arched passages beneath buildings). These routes are not just connective tissue; they are sites of memory, commerce, and daily life. Lucia slows the pace, pointing out traces of inscriptions, overlooked carvings, and architectural quirks that speak volumes about the neighborhoods you pass through.

As you walk this 10-minute stretch, Lucia shares the layered stories of these spaces — how they evolved, what they meant, and how they are still used by Venetians today. This is the perfect opportunity to ask her questions about life in Venice and learn about the subtle choreography of Venetian movement: how people navigate, how goods are delivered, and how the city’s architecture supports a life lived at both ground and water level. 

Walk from Biblioteca Marciana to Palazzo Grimani through Venice’s layered squares and alleys.

Venice’s Hidden Corridors

Palazzo Grimani is a Renaissance residence that reflects the refined tastes and humanist ideals of a powerful Venetian family. Its architecture draws inspiration from ancient Roman models, featuring illusionistic frescoes, classical sculptures, and carefully proportioned spaces. Designed not to overwhelm but to inspire contemplation, the palace showcases a distinctive blend of personal expression and scholarly ambition rarely found in Venice’s grander, more public-facing palazzi.

Palazzo Grimani offers a contemplative alternative to Venice’s more theatrical palaces. Its intimate design reflects a humanist approach to art and architecture, where personal taste and classical inspiration take precedence over public display. Each room invites reflection on how the city’s elite expressed identity not only through wealth but through the quiet, intellectual language of proportion, antiquity, and artistic mastery.

The Fondazione Querini Stampalia is a historic patrician residence that combines original 18th-century interiors, an important art collection, and architectural interventions by Carlo Scarpa. The house museum preserves the atmosphere of a refined Venetian home while showcasing paintings, furniture, and decorative arts reflecting the tastes and social standing of the Querini family. Scarpa’s garden and architectural solutions blend modernist design with the building’s historic fabric, creating a unique space where tradition and innovation meet.

The Fondazione Querini Stampalia reveals the cultural values of Venice’s aristocracy through its interiors and collections. Identity here was expressed through art, learning, spatial harmony, and the thoughtful arrangement of personal and public spaces. Scarpa’s interventions create a dialogue between past and present while respecting the original character, offering a renewed way to experience historic architecture.

La Serenissima to Modern Milan

10-day itinerary in Italy through Venice, Bologna, Milan, a mix of culture, cuisine, scenic beauty.

United States

This 10-day Morocco journey begins and ends in Marrakesh, unfolding through coastal Essaouira and the High Atlas Mountains in between. From artistic neighborhoods and sensory rituals to ocean air and mountain trails, this itinerary invites you to see Morocco not just as a destination but as a series of living moments, each led by chefs, photographers, artisans, and storytellers.

You will take part in Sufi evenings, hands-on cooking, contemporary gallery visits, and village walks. Every stop balances exploration and stillness, allowing time to absorb, connect, and be moved by Morocco’s many layers, from rooftop views to mountain paths, from hammam steam to handcrafted silver.

DAYS 1-2 – MARRAKESH | Ease into the journey with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm welcome into Moroccan cooking set in a private home. Visit El Badi Palace on your own before an immersive evening of Sufi presence with live Hadra music and shared dinner. The next day focuses on the city’s creative energy. Begin with a guided art tour and curator-led meet-up at Comptoir des Mines Galerie. Spend the afternoon in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s modern district, to visit the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and Jardin Majorelle, spaces that blend color, fashion, and legacy.

DAY 3 – MARRAKESH TO ESSAOUIRA | Begin the morning with A Thousand and One Crafts, a guided walk through the artisan medina of Marrakesh. After lunch, travel west through argan country toward the coast. Essaouira is directly west of Marrakesh, a 2.5 to 3 hour drive, a straight shot to the Atlantic. It offers a gentle and relaxed pause after the intensity of Marrakesh. Arrive before sunset and take in the sea breeze.

DAYS 4-5 – ESSAOUIRA | Capture the spirit of Essaouira with Framed Essaouira, a full-day photography tour that reveals the city’s light, rhythm, and intimate angles. On the following day, dive deeper into craftsmanship with Jewelry Makers of Essaouira, a quiet and inspiring look into workshops that keep Moroccan silversmithing alive.

DAY 6 – ESSAOUIRA TO ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Today is a long but beautiful transfer from the Atlantic coast to Imlil in the High Atlas Mountains. As the terrain shifts, so does the pace. By sunset, you will be surrounded by peaks and valleys, far from city sounds.

DAYS 7-8 – ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Walk the Mule Tracks of Aremd, a soft yet panoramic hike that threads through the hills and villages near Imlil. The following day, go deeper with The Quintessential High Atlas, a guided trek that brings you into the life and rhythm of the mountains.

DAY 9 – ATLAS TO MARRAKESH | Begin your day with The Salt Route of Marigha, a scenic walk through argan groves and salt flats. Then, return to Marrakesh for your final evening. The shift from mountain quiet to city color makes this arrival feel like a reawakening.

DAY 10 – MARRAKESH | Close your journey with Art Beyond Borders, a guided look at contemporary art in Marrakesh. Enjoy one last rooftop, one last mint tea, and one last story before heading toward your next chapter, carrying Morocco’s echoes with you.

An Escape to Morocco

10 days in Morocco through Marrakesh, Essaouira, and the Atlas Mountains with art, food, and nature.

This 7-day itinerary offers a deep and personal exploration of Lisbon and its surrounding landscapes—curated by architect, artist, and local guide Tiago Miranda Neiva. You’ll move between Lisbon, Mafra, Ericeira, Setúbal, Évora, and Alqueva, using Lisbon as your hub for the first five days before transitioning into the open spaces of Alentejo. Each experience reflects Tiago’s belief that Lisbon—and Portugal more broadly—reveals its truth only when you engage with it slowly, sensitively, and through all your senses.
✧ In Lisbon, you’ll begin with immersive walking tours of the historic center and the Alfama district, including a soulful evening of live Fado. You’ll explore lush botanical gardens, secret city vantage points, and meet with local elders to hear lived histories.
✧ In the Setúbal Peninsula, you’ll sip and savor the natural and culinary abundance of the region, from coastal wines to Arrábida’s dramatic cliffs.
✧ In Ericeira and Mafra, the focus shifts to surf, light, and rhythm—along with time to admire the monumental beauty of Mafra Palace.
✧ The final days take you east, into Évora, Monsaraz, and Alqueva—where you’ll find silence, sweeping views, and stories rooted in the Alentejo earth.
This itinerary balances movement and stillness, city and countryside, design and tradition. It's a route shaped not only by places, but by one person's deep relationship to them.

When asked about his love for Lisbon, Tiago’s enthusiasm is immediate: “I love my city! I really love the historic center of Lisbon!” Though he didn’t always feel that way. Growing up on the city’s outskirts, it wasn’t until returning after time abroad that he saw it anew. “It was as a young and independent adult with an arts and architecture degree, and with the enthusiasm to explore — that I realized how beautiful, diverse, and interesting my city is.”
For Tiago, connecting with a culture means full immersion. “You have to experience it with open eyes, heart, and mind,” he says. That means talking to locals, walking unfamiliar routes, listening more than looking. “Lisbon isn’t just to be seen, but touched, smelled, and tasted.” It’s not a checklist—it’s a presence.
He also names two challenges: First, Lisbon’s historic neighborhoods are deeply distinct—each like its own mini-city. “Lisbon is multidimensional. It cannot—and should not—be rushed.” Second, mass tourism threatens the local character he cherishes. Responsible travel, he says, is essential to preserve the culture.
As tourism evolves, Tiago points toward Lisbon’s under-known strengths. “Gastronomy, street art, tiles, contemporary architecture… there’s so much more to discover!”

Lisbon and the Roads Out

7-day itinerary in Portugal exploring history & culture in Lisbon, Mafra, Ericeira, Setúbal, Évora.

Rovinj invites slowness. It’s a town best explored on fork or glass in hand, with time to stop—often. This three-day itinerary offers a thoughtful pace through its stone-lined alleys, seaside kitchens, and sun-drenched vineyards, where each experience feels close to the land, and closer still to the people who live by it.

Your journey begins in Rovinj’s Old Town, a maze of worn steps and cascading homes perched above the Adriatic. Mornings are for wandering the harbor and watching the rhythms of the fishing boats; midday leads you to the local market, where seasonal produce and handmade cheeses speak to Istria’s generous soil. In the afternoon, a boat ride through Lim Fjord adds contrast—quiet water, steep cliffs, and stillness that settles in.

Day two is dedicated to flavor and touch. “A Kitchen Among Olive Trees” is more than a cooking class—it’s a full-sensory dive into Istrian culinary culture, hosted by locals with deep knowledge of land, oil, and tradition. The afternoon brings you to St. Euphemia Church, where a climb to the bell tower reveals sweeping views of sea, rooftops, and sky—a quiet reward before another intimate dinner.

The final day pulls you inland. A full-day wine experience takes you to Rovinj’s vineyards, where crisp whites and deep reds are poured beside vineyard paths and old cellars. It’s a generous and slow-moving day, designed for both learning and tasting. You’ll close with one last look at the fjord, a soft light setting over the water as you reflect on days well spent.

This is an invitation to pause, cook, sip, and look closely. Rovinj rewards travelers who resist the rush.

Slow Days in Rovinj

3-day itinerary in Rovinj exploring coastal streets, Istrian cuisine, olive groves, and local wines.

A rhythm of sand, salt, and sky unfolds across three elemental days in the Atacama Desert. This journey takes you from grounded, hands-on moments to vast desert panoramas — from the intimacy of a ceramics workshop to the stillness of floating lagoons and the dazzling clarity of the high-altitude night. Designed for travelers drawn to light, texture, and time, it pairs immersive photography with meditative moments of pause. You’ll begin slowly, then ascend into the surreal landscapes of the altiplano before closing among geysers, wetlands, and warm springs.
DAY 1 – CLAY, FLOATING, AND STARS | The journey begins gently in the Salt Mountain Range, where you’ll be welcomed into the adobe studio of a local ceramic artist. Using a clay unique to the region, shaped by ancestral Licarantai traditions, you’ll create your own piece while learning how reverence for Pachamama lives on through craft. In the afternoon, take time on your own to visit nearby Laguna Cejar — a salt-rich lagoon where the water suspends you weightlessly in its mineral grip. As night falls, a guided photography session carries you into the desert for stargazing under Atacama’s famously clear skies, where constellations and cosmic stories stretch wide across the silence.
DAY 2 – FLAMINGOS AND THE ALTIPLANO | Wake early to head deep into the Chilean altiplano. This is a day of altitude and scale, where pastel lagoons stretch beneath volcanoes and flamingos lift off from mirror-still water. As you travel across remote salt flats and highland valleys, your guide helps shape the light into story through photography. There’s time to pause, to breathe thinner air, to notice shadow and color shift by the hour. After returning to town, the evening invites rest and reflection after a day spent far above sea level.
DAY 3 – GEYSERS AND WATERS | Before sunrise, set out north toward El Tatio, where steam rises from the earth in silence. As the first light filters across the geysers, capture the raw power of fire meeting water at 4,000 meters. Descend slowly through villages and wetlands, where llamas and flamingos move between grasses and mineral pools. The day ends in thermal springs tucked inside a desert canyon. Let your body ease back into warmth as your time in the Atacama comes to a close.
WHERE TO STAY IN SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA | Most travelers base themselves in San Pedro, a walkable adobe town that serves as the region’s gateway. For easy access to experiences, stay near the center where pickups and drop-offs are seamless. If you prefer quiet evenings, choose a boutique lodge just outside the plaza. Accommodations range from rustic guesthouses to high-end eco-hotels, many designed with local materials and open-air courtyards perfect for desert stargazing.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO ARRIVE | The desert rewards those who arrive slowly. Because much of this journey takes place at altitude, we recommend arriving in San Pedro at least one or two days before your first experience. This extra time helps you adjust to the dry air, shifting light, and elevation changes that define the Atacama. It also offers space to settle into the desert’s rhythm — walk the quiet streets, explore the artisan market, and watch the color drain from the sky in the evenings. Let the landscape meet you gradually.

Expect curated encounters, intimate spaces, and a balance of guided immersion and reflective stillness.

DAY 1 – ART & DESIGN LEGACIES | Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a guided visit to Comptoir des Mines Galerie and dialogue with a local artist shaping Marrakesh’s present.

End the day with dinner in a traditional riad—an atmospheric welcome to the city.

DAY 2 – SACRED RHYTHMS AND FLAVORS | Start early with Order of the Golden Triangle, a meditative walk through sacred geometry and spiritual symbolism in the old city. After lunch, explore the souks through the narrative lens of Heart and Souk in Marrakesh, then immerse yourself in Moroccan hospitality at Tasting Morocco, a hands-on experience at the Amal Center. As the sky turns golden, head to a rooftop above Djemaa El-Fna, where the city’s sights and sounds rise with the call to prayer.

DAY 3 – CRAFTS & CONTEMPORARY SPACES | Begin the day with A Hub of Moroccan Makers, a guided studio tour that introduces you to local artisans and their creative process, from traditional techniques to modern design. Afterward, take a quiet walk through the gardens of La Mamounia or spend time at your own pace. In the evening, enjoy a relaxed dinner at Le Jardin, a courtyard restaurant tucked in the heart of the medina.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina. These restored courtyard homes combine intimacy, beauty, and local hospitality — many just steps from the city’s main sites. For more space and calm, Gueliz and Hivernage offer boutique hotels and stylish guesthouses near gardens, cafés, and galleries. Or opt for a retreat on the city’s edge, where palm groves and desert light invite pause.

3 days in Marrakesh exploring Moroccan art, creativity, cuisine, and timeless design.

From the iconic Dubrovnik walls to the calm waters of Banje Beach, this three-day journey invites you to explore the city’s rich heritage and coastal beauty at your own pace. Walk through centuries of history, taste traditional Croatian food in atmospheric Old Town restaurants, and end your days with a golden boat ride in Dubrovnik’s shimmering bay.

DAY 1 – CITY WALLS AND FORTRESS | Begin your trip with a morning walk along Dubrovnik’s city walls. This 1.2-mile loop offers sweeping views over rooftops and sea, with countless photo moments along the way. For lunch, head to Proto Fish in the Old Town, known for its elegant terrace and fresh Adriatic seafood. In the afternoon, visit War Photo Limited, a striking gallery that documents human conflict through powerful photography. Continue to Lovrijenac Fortress, perched just outside the city walls, where stone stairs lead to panoramic views and centuries of defense history. In the evening, join a culinary walking tour led by locals. You’ll taste traditional dishes, hear family stories, and explore the city’s flavors through its oldest streets.

DAY 2 – BEACH, MOUNTAIN, AND SEA | Spend the morning at Banje Beach, just outside the Old Town gates. Swim in clear water, relax with a book, or simply take in the view of the city rising above the bay. After a midday break, make your way to Mount Srđ. Whether you hike or take the cable car, the view from the top is unforgettable, with wide horizons stretching over Dubrovnik and the coast. As the sun begins to set, step aboard a boat for a sunset cruise along the shoreline. The city glows behind you as the boat glides past islands and cliffs, closing the day on the water.

DAY 3 – MONASTIC AND BAROQUE HERITAGE | Start your day at the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries, two of Dubrovnik’s most historic sanctuaries. These calm, beautiful places are filled with carved cloisters, quiet chapels, and traces of centuries past. For lunch, walk to Konoba Kopun, a small square near the Jesuit steps where traditional Dalmatian recipes are served with care. In the afternoon, explore Dubrovnik Cathedral, a baroque landmark filled with light, then visit the Rector’s Palace, once the seat of power in the Republic of Ragusa. As your final experience, leave the city behind and visit Trsteno, a coastal village known for its historic gardens. A guided walk and picnic offer a quiet, green farewell to your time in Dubrovnik.

WHERE TO STAY IN DUBROVNIK | If you want to be in the heart of it all, stay inside the Old Town. It’s full of charm but also crowds and stairs. For more space and sea views, choose neighborhoods like Ploče or Lapad just outside the walls. Both offer easy access while giving you a peaceful place to rest.

Living the Pulse of Porto means tasting its traditions, stepping inside centuries-old landmarks, and letting the Douro set the rhythm of your days. In three days you’ll move from taverns filled with petiscos to valley vineyards, riverside boat decks, and cathedral steps that have anchored the city for generations. Designed for travelers who want immersion over checklists, this journey blends guided encounters with moments of quiet discovery, letting Porto’s pulse carry you.
DAY 1 – PETISCOS AND VIEWS | Begin with a guided food tour that introduces Porto through its flavors and stories. Tasting petiscos and Port wine becomes a path through the São Bento station murals, the Dom Luís I Bridge, and corners of daily life. In the evening, climb Torre dos Clérigos, where the Baroque tower rises above the old city and the river glimmers below. The day closes over dinner in the heart of Porto, where the atmosphere feels as local as the wine.
DAY 2 – DOURO HERITAGE AND CHURCHES | Leave the city for a guided day in the Douro Valley, where family-run wineries share the generations-long craft of winemaking and lunch is prepared at the table of a local vintner. Back in Porto, the evening turns toward Igreja de São Francisco, a space where Gothic bones and Baroque gold reveal the layers of faith and power. Dinner follows along the riverfront, with seafood and wine echoing the Douro’s abundance.
DAY 3 – RIVER JOURNEYS AND CATHEDRALS | The final day carries you onto the Douro with a guided boat experience that blends water, wine, and the flavors of a traditional sardine lunch.

Evening is left to reflection, with Porto’s rhythm accompanying the close of your journey.

Cedofeita offers a more local feel, with art galleries, cafés, and quieter streets just beyond the center. For those who prefer evenings by the sea, Foz provides Atlantic calm while keeping Porto close at hand.

Algarve’s Crafts, Land and Sea

4-day itinerary in Algarve merging social impact with craft, coastal beauty, and living traditions.

This 10-day itinerary moves through Andalusia’s most expressive cities—Seville, Cádiz, Ronda, Málaga, and Granada—balancing guided experiences with time to wander. You’ll follow a one-way route from Seville to Málaga to minimize travel and deepen your experience. From Moorish palaces to Roman ruins and vibrant markets, this trip is an invitation to engage with Andalusia as a living culture. Along the way, you’ll find curated experiences, hotel and dining recommendations, and insights from two locals who know this region intimately.

Seville is your entry point—fly in and settle into a city where architecture, energy, and rhythm shape the streets. Visit the Alcázar, take a masterclass in flamenco’s quieter meanings, and explore hidden workshops in Triana. | Cádiz follows, and with it, the feeling of arrival into a deeper past. Here, you’ll walk seaside ramparts, taste freshly caught fish in local markets, and join locals for a casual tapas crawl. Don’t miss the Carnival, if your timing aligns. | Ronda offers slower breath and cliffside drama. With its sweeping views and old-world charm, this is the perfect place for a horseback ride, a visit to a family-run bodega, or a hike into the surrounding countryside. | Málaga, long overlooked, now leads with contemporary art and bold cuisine. | Granada, your final stop, gathers everything—Islamic architecture, Jewish heritage, Spanish tradition.

Cádiz as a place of convergence: María José was born and raised in Cádiz, and her eyes sparkle with pride and nostalgia as she describes this ancient city where history, culture, and the sea converge. It’s a place where stories of Phoenician sailors, Roman conquerors, and Moorish poets are continually retold. Reflecting on her childhood, she recalls the close-knit neighborhood where people relied on one another. Carnival—an annual February tradition—was central. Lucía remembers it too; her grandmother was a seamstress who hand-stitched elaborate costumes each year. 

The essence of Andalusia, María José says, is best experienced not through spectacles, but through shared moments. Conversations in taverns. Crafts passed down through generations. Hospitality that’s unforced and real. Strangers are often welcomed like friends—invited into homes, kitchens, or village fiestas. Here, you’re never just an observer.

There’s growing interest in pairing cultural travel with nature, wellness, and gastronomy. Think horseback safaris, slow treks, and olive oil tastings under ancient trees. For María José and Lucía, true luxury is about access to spaces and stories that are otherwise closed to tourists: a private sherry tasting in a centuries-old bodega, a sunset boat ride in Doñana, or a morning spent with artisans in a whitewashed village. This is the Andalusia they want travelers to know.

Andalusia: Seville to Granada

Andalusia itinerary 10 days with Seville, Cádiz, Ronda, Málaga, Granada, heritage and cuisine.

This Milan itinerary is sleek, elegant, and curated — the perfect expression of Milanese sophistication across architecture, design, fashion, and food. It’s about Milan as it’s truly lived: designed, composed, and always in conversation with its past and future.

Milan is precision with personality—a city where modern lines meet Renaissance texture, and where fashion, architecture, and food are expressions of the same pursuit: style with substance. This three-day itinerary moves through that balance with intent, beginning in the geometry and vision of Gio Ponti’s architectural legacy. From the Pirelli Tower to lesser-known gems, the morning reveals how Milan’s skyline was shaped not just by ambition, but by design thinking.

The afternoon shifts to the Navigli District—Leonardo da Vinci’s hand in its canals, but today, the flow belongs to artists, gallery owners, and baristas. You’ll wander cobbled paths, stop for an aperitivo, and settle into a slow dinner at Osteria Conchetta, where Milanese cuisine is served without pretense but full of detail.

Day two leaves the city for the lakes. A curated visit to Lake Como weaves together water, stone, and stillness. At Villa del Balbianello and through the towns of Como and Bellagio, nature is never separate from design—it’s framed by it. This isn’t just sightseeing; it’s about atmosphere. Scale, silence, villas on cliffs. Beauty at rest.

On your final day, the focus returns to Milan with a walk through Brera. Here, art meets appetite—small galleries, curated boutiques, and a lunch scene that respects tradition while playing with it. The afternoon brings you to Castello Sforzesco and its layered museums, followed by a pause in Sempione Park—green space as counterbalance. And finally: dinner at Tartufotto, where truffle meets elegance in the heart of the city.

This 7-day itinerary offers a layered introduction to Catalonia, curated by Fernwayer experience-maker and collaborator Manila DiMaira. A native of Sicily and longtime resident of Barcelona, Manila blends insight with a deep curiosity. Her suggested route balances the bold energy of the city with the slower rhythm of the countryside — from Barcelona’s cultural core to the vineyards of Priorat, the wetlands of the Ebro Delta, and the historic charm of Girona.
Begin with three days in Barcelona, where Manila recommends focusing not on checklists but on rhythm: explore historic neighborhoods, check out design ateliers, sample Catalan cuisine, and seek out the quieter corners still alive with local tradition. | Head south into the wine country of Priorat, a lesser-known region with rolling hills and medieval villages. Stay in Siurana, a cliffside hamlet with sweeping views and access to local winemakers. | Continue to the Ebro Delta, one of Spain’s richest ecological regions. Here, you can bike through rice paddies, watch migratory birds, and experience a side of Catalonia rarely included in mainstream itineraries. | End in Girona, a city of ancient walls, celebrated chefs, and architectural quiet. It offers a slower, more introspective contrast to the pulse of Barcelona.
This itinerary reflects what Manila calls the “true essence of Catalonia” — a place of cultural pride, natural beauty, and distinct local identity. Manila first arrived in Barcelona more than two decades ago, while finishing her studies in Rome. She needed an internship for her thesis and chose Barcelona without expecting how quickly she’d feel at home.“Barcelona, 22 years ago, was a different place,” she says. “It was less cosmopolitan, more local. I remember wandering through narrow streets and finding tiny bars with real flamenco. It felt genuinely lived in.”
 “Tourism has definitely changed things,” she admits. “Places like La Rambla are overcrowded. Many locals have been pushed out by the rise in tourist rentals. But Catalans are proud of their traditions. They’ve started resisting these changes to preserve the city’s character.” That character is what Manila has grown to love. “I chose Barcelona because I felt an immediate connection. The Mediterranean lifestyle, the weather, the proximity to mountains and sea — it feels like home but also stretches me outside my comfort zone.” She relishes the contrast to her native Sicily. “I can take a train and be skiing in the Pyrenees in just over an hour. Where else do you get that?”
What keeps her in Barcelona is the balance of tradition and openness. “The cuisine, the olive groves, the vineyards — they remind me of southern Italy, but they’re uniquely Catalan.” And the city’s connectivity has made it easy to stay rooted while maintaining close ties to Italy. She speaks with admiration about the people: “Catalans are proud, resilient, and united. They have a strong sense of identity and community. Whether through demonstrations or cultural festivals, they come together. They’re efficient and organized, but also keep that relaxed Mediterranean vibe. It’s a unique combination.”
