I Could Live Here is a travel newsletter for design-minded professionals craving authentic experiences in Europe’s hidden gems. We curate slow travel in second cities and smaller communities—connecting you with real culture, natural beauty, and artisanal quality without the luxury price tag. It’s for people who want to disconnect from their screens and reconnect with what makes a place feel like home.

Monthly, in my paid subscription, we go beyond physical spaces to ask ourselves what identities we’ve taken on and who we long to be.

Why Subscribe?

🌍 This newsletter is for you if you feel:

• Overwhelmed by constant connectivity

• Disappointed by overpriced “luxury” experiences that don’t actually connect you to the people who live there

• Tired of crowded tourist destinations

• Want beauty without breaking the bank

🌿 If this is what you’re looking for when traveling:

• Prefer boutique over chain hotels

• Love discovering local artisans and makers

• Want nature + comfort (“bougie nature lover”)

• Value beautiful spaces and good design

• Seek transformative experiences, not just sightseeing

• Would rather spend 10 days in one place than 2 weeks hopping cities

Maybe you daydream about living in another country, or another city. Or maybe you daydream about becoming someone else completely - taking on a new identity or role, or sense of belonging.

Paid Subscribers will get:

• A monthly paid personal post about where I’m traveling and what I’m manifesting

• A ten-page travel guide - 10 Hidden Gems in Italy for Nature Lovers with Bougie Tendencies

• Access to the subscriber chat, where you can ask me anything about moving abroad, quitting my job, living in Italy, and more!

You can also support via a one-time donation to the tip jar:
