About me / Silvia Ferrato

Listening is where the best journeys begin.

I'm Silvia Ferrato. I design journeys that make room for who you are, what sparks your curiosity and how you like to experience the world.

My story

Hello, I’m Silvia.

Travel has been part of my life since childhood. I love meeting people, discovering cultures different from my own and finding out what makes a place unmistakably itself. When I chose my career, I gave that curiosity a solid foundation with a degree in Tourism and Local Communities.

Since 2001 I worked in business travel for an American multinational company. For almost twenty years I organised corporate trips, coordinated services and learned how much precision, timing and finding solutions matter when plans change.

In 2020 I began a new chapter as an independent Travel Planner. I brought that organisational experience to leisure travel, where I can spend more time listening to people, understanding what they hope for and finding an itinerary that feels like their own.

What drives me

The world changes when you find your own way to explore it.

Today I continue to study destinations and develop my expertise. The United States has long been a place I love and research; Japan has become another important part of my work, from its cities and smaller towns to the many ways of experiencing each stop.

In both places I begin with the same questions: what do you want to discover? What pace feels right? What would you like to remember when you return? The answers guide everything from experiences to transport.

I also design group trips and bring my background in business travel to corporate projects, meetings and incentive trips. Every proposal begins with a real conversation, because a well-designed journey is something we create together.

The values behind my work

Three commitments in every itinerary.

01 / Listening

Understand before making suggestions

I want to know your interests, your pace and what you would rather avoid. That is where a truly personal journey begins.

02 / Care

Every detail has a purpose

I choose stops, services and timings with the whole experience in mind, balancing quality with practical details.

03 / Trust

A conversation that continues

I explain our choices, prepare useful information and remain a point of contact for the services we have arranged together.

Continuing education

I keep learning about the places I recommend. These certificates document training focused on the United States and Japan.
