MARIANNA, originally from Puglia and raised in the province of Bologna. Energetic and sunny, besides traveling, she loves animals and nature.
Anything related to creativity drives her wild. She has turned her passion for travel into work, ranging from travel agencies and tour operators to resorts and cruise ships.
In 2017, she opened her travel agency, specializing in creating customized itineraries and honeymoon trips.
She was born under the sign of Taurus, and when she sets her mind on something, she won't give up until she achieves it. The idea of the van was hers, and fortunately she had it.
RUGGERO, born and raised in the beautiful setting of Santa Margherita Ligure, has cultivated a love for the sea since childhood. For this reason, he has spent much of his life working on cruise ships and later on yachts.
He loves simplicity, living for small moments, and meeting new people with whom to laugh and joke.
He adores traveling and fell in love with van life the first time he tried it. He's excited to have embarked on this adventure.
Being a headstrong Aries, he's passionate about videomaking and even more so about observing the world from above with his drone.
They first met in Greece in 2013, to be precise on the Costa Mediterranea, where they both worked: Ruggero as a deck officer and Marianna as a tour guide.
L’amore per i viaggi ci ha legati fin da subito e da lì non ci siamo mai più lasciati. In quegli anni abbiamo avuto la fortuna di viaggiare tantissimo, dalle isole dei Caraibi, al Nord Europa, dal Mediterraneo al Giro del Mondo.
Marianna and Ruggero
Actually, they are in North America with Freddie, their self-built van from Italy. You can follow their journey virtually on major social media platforms and on their YouTube channel.
Here's a brief introduction, enjoy!
