  • Originally from Italy, Valentina now lives in London. She initially planned to stay in the capital for only six months, but she has been a Londoner for over a decade.
  • She loves traveling solo and never tells her parents where she is, leaving them to guess. She just loves the surprise effect.
  • Her favorite part of traveling is making new friends along the way.

Experience

Valentina has worked as a freelance travel writer for over a year, focusing on solo travel, interviews with professionals in the tourism industry, and aviation. Her love for exploring faraway lands began during a solo trip to Peru. She rarely goes back home to Italy for the holidays, as she prefers visiting new countries and scratching them off her map.

Education

Valentina holds a bachelor's degree in foreign languages from Ca'Foscari University of Venice, Italy, and a diploma with Distinction in Freelance & Travel Writing from the London School of Journalism.
