Sensory Travel aims to foster a connection to local communities through art, design, gastronomy, and nature, encouraging a slower exploration of the world and embracing the present moment. Our purpose is to inspire modern travelers who believe that authentic, meaningful travel experiences are woven of beautiful destinations, design-led spaces, and deep cultural immersion.
The art of travel

Born from a deep appreciation of the art of travel and a fervid desire to share it with fellow wanderers, we aim to build and inspire a community of like-minded travelers who want to enhance their experience of the world through sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER
I unintentionally set the ground for Sensory Travel in 2012 while retreating and unwinding in a gorgeous small hotel. Nestled in the Tuscan landscape and run by an Italian family, I vividly recall those slow days. This slower-paced travel provided a sense of connection that resonated deeply with me.
Since then, I've embraced slow travel, fueled by an endless curiosity to find beauty and inspiration in everyday life. Discovering stunning destinations, experiencing new cultures, staying in design hotels, connecting with the local natural diversity, and documenting my journey through photography have helped me reconnect with the essence of travel.
