About me

Ciao and a very warm welcome to my family travel blog!

My name is Marta Correale, I am an Italian mama of two with a huge passion for travel and travel writing.

I am the creative mind and voice behind this blog but you may also know me from other sites: Mama Loves Rome and Mama Loves Italy, which are where I share my tips to visit my beautiful hometown of Rome and Italy (I had to many to fit them in a blog about travel in general, they needed their own homes!)

I have a deep love for exploration and cultural immersion, made it my mission to share my ravel experiences and insights with a global audience: I hope hearing first hand accounts of places, my exact itineraries and finds, can help you find the confidence to travel without anxiety and making the most of all your trips!

This blog blog covers a wide range of destinations, following my own trips, and offers practical tips, detailed itineraries, and stories that cater to families and solo travelers alike: I am a mama of two and travel alone, with them, with my husband and with friends so my posts follow my actual trips – hence the variety!

My ‘adventures’ often bring me to destinations in Europe but I’ve often also gone many times to the US. In the past, I have also visited Central America, Japan, Korea, parts of China, India and north Africa, but since these trips are from a while ago, they don’t currently feature on the blog.

You can find in destinations all the places I currently cover on this website!

I particularly enjoy exploring historical sites, natural landscapes, and family-friendly destinations. My perfect day is a mix of sightseeing and just ‘being’ in a place, to soak up atmosphere. I believe in mindful exploration that respects local cultures and environments and go out of my way to learn about a place before visiting.

Through this blog, I am to inspire you to embark on your own journey, and make your travel planning easier and less daunting. Welcome, and safe travel planning!
