CIAO, I'M MERRYL

A local in Rome since 2017, I’ve spent years exploring Italy beyond the usual tourist hotspots—venturing into charming non-commercial towns, uncovering hidden local gems, and experiencing Italy’s rich traditions firsthand.

Through my blog, I share insider tips on how to truly experience Italy—whether it's discovering breathtaking, lesser-known destinations, navigating local sagras (food festivals), or learning how to summer like the Italians do.

If you’re looking to experience Italy beyond the guidebooks, you’re in the right place. Let’s make your trip unforgettable!
