Are you planning a trip to Milan & Lake Como?
Save time searching for answers about traveling to Italy by asking a travel advisor who lives here! You can have a live conversation (with a real person), ask questions, and put your mind at ease by talking with me, an expat living here for over 20 years with local insights and knowledge.
There is so much information out there, and so little time to search for it! You can cut that time in half by asking someone who lives in the area. I’d be happy to be your travel advisor in Italy.
Go Beyond Milan
Milan is truly an excellent choice to start or finish your tour of Italy. With my extensive travel experience and knowledge of Italian culture, I can assist you in planning your trip to Italy. Leveraging my network, I’ll ensure you discover the finest experiences, and rest assured that if I wouldn’t advise it to my sister or friend, I won’t recommend it to you.
About me

I’m Celia Abernethy, I came to Milan as a fashion model, and I’m now a travel editor and writer, professional mystery shopper, and travel advisor for Italy with Viahero. As an editor and travel writer, it’s my job to be in the know!
I split my time between Milan and Lake Como, and I am always discovering new and exciting things to do and see. Although I live and specialize in northern Italy, my knowledge, experience, and personal contacts span all of Italy. Whether it’s Milan, a Tuscan retreat, or a cultural adventure in one of the beautiful regions in Italy , I am always on the lookout for the best places and experiences. Let me help you plan your trip to Milan, Lake Como, and other areas of Italy!
I am not a travel agent or tour guide, but you will have a local contact and the resources necessary to make bookings, informed decisions, and arrangements for transportation.
If you need a personal assistant or translator during your stay to help you with shopping, restaurant reservations, and more, contact me for further information.
