WELCOME TO EASY TRAVEL HOSTING! WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK TO US A LITTLE ABOUT YOU AND HOW YOUR SITE WAS CREATED?
Vagamondo.it was born thanks to the experience gained over the years, a Degree in Economic Sociology and a Master in Tourism Economics at Bocconi University in Milan.
Dal 1998 come tour operator, with my first agency, I organized individual and group trips, especially on “youth” destinations like Spain, When, Oktoberfest, France, amusement parks and more. As a videomaker, I acquired a collaboration with the German TV Bayerischer Rundfunk for a reportage on the occasion of the Oktoberfest and subsequently created a TV format of historical routes, tourist, socio-cultural and food and wine, broadcast on various Italian regional TV channels.
With the arrival of the web in the tourism sector, I have created several hotel booking portals, putting the traveler in direct contact with accommodation facilities without charging any commission. Afterwards, expanding and improving my experiences and a passion for travel, Vagamondo Travel Blog is born.
Designed to suggest travel offers and itineraries, promote tourist destinations, show art, culture, popular traditions and events around the world. It is a blog open to all those who wish to share their travel experiences with others, With less common places and more complete information, experimenting with new communication channels such as social networks.
I PROPOSED A LOW COST ITINERARY. DO YOU THINK THAT TODAY THOSE WHO WANT TO TAKE A HOLIDAY ARE STRUGGLING TO FIND AFFORDABLE OFFERS?
Yes, because the offer on the internet is vast and often misleading. There are hundreds of websites that offer stays at unreal prices, often there are some gullible people who take the bait.
Luckily, today with tools that the internet offers, the traveler, who is also a consumer, he has many opportunities to defend himself. Just read the reviews on sites like Facebook or Tripadvisor, to know if that structure or that airline is honest or not. In short, we just need to find out a little to know if our holiday will be fantastic or a disappointment.
On the other hand, and I'm biased here, you wanted the bicycle and now you pedal. In the sense that before the advent of the internet, to book a trip it was customary to go into a travel agency and there was always some professional agent we could turn to with complaints and who would advise us on how and where, now with online bookings we have to "do it ourselves" and if we are not careful enough it is easy to fall into the unexpected.
Ecco, Vagamondo Travel Blog remedies this here: reliable sites where you can book a flight or hotel, ideas for a weekend, the best travel insurance companies and exclusive holiday offers, where we try to put the traveler in direct contact with accommodation facilities without burdening us with any commission.
AMONG ALL THE PLACES YOU HAVE VISITED, WHICH STOPPED YOUR HEART MORE THAN THE OTHERS?
I might surprise you by telling you that the most beautiful trip was to Türkiye and Syria, after graduation. Or around the hostels of Europe with a backpack on your shoulders, or my first time in New York or Amsterdam, but no. The place that captivated me the most, and I say this from the bottom of my heart, it's my trip to Sicily.
Perhaps it is due to the historical moment we are experiencing due to the ongoing pandemic or because I was there for the first time mid-80s as a school trip, those that are made before the much desired maturity. Or maybe because those were the Live Aid years, the hope of a better world, of the first rock concerts I attended around Europe, and we were all innocent carefree kids in our adolescence and we had little fun and everything was a discovery.
Daily. On that holiday, we were all in a famous tourist village of Terrasini, a few kilometers from Palermo. We stayed there for about a week and there was a bus excursion from the village every day: Selinunte, Segesta, Trapani and the splendid Erice, Cefalù, the Valley of the Temples, Syracuse. What else to say.
What do you do to make your travels more ecological?
In my little one, I always try to make my trips eco-friendly. Come? They are small gestures that make the difference, like trying to throw waste into the right container for recycling.
Avoiding eating at fast food outlets from large restaurant companies, looking for small village taverns where you can taste local zero-mile products. Always carrying a bag with me, those for shopping, avoiding disposable ones. Always using public transport or renting bicycles where possible.
After all, the topic of ecology has been much discussed in recent years, as well as climate change and even the coronavirus pandemic, they are also warning us of something that can happen. Having never been just a simple indifferent observer, staying on topic, I would conclude with the words of Pope Francis:
"Gentleman, your Word hits us tonight and concerns us, everyone. In this world of ours, that You love more than us, we went full speed ahead, feeling strong and capable in everything. Greedy for profit, we allowed ourselves to be absorbed by things and dazed by the rush. We didn't stop at your calls, we have not awakened to wars and planetary injustices, we have not listened to the cry of the poor, and of our seriously ill planet. We continued undaunted, thinking of always remaining healthy in a sick world".
