Press trip availability: ArtTrav accepts invitations to press trips and events when the content produced can be closely linked to the topics of this blog – art and travel, or the culture of a place (including active holidays), in Italy and Europe. As I work full time (in Florence), I am mostly available for weekend or long-weekend trips. I travel with my husband, Tommaso. When possible, I prefer independent visits and tend not to attend group trips since this allows me to focus on aspects of a place that interest me the most, and thus I am able to create original and top quality content.
The following is a select list of press trips / comped stays and collaborations, with links to relative posts.
