Hi there, and welcome to this little blog about my independent female solo trips!
My name is Silvia Moggia, and I come from a family that is quite an impressive cultural melting pot. At home, I’ve always been “the one with the suitcase” cause I couldn’t wait to leave for extended trips or short excursions nearby… it didn’t matter.
After a childhood spent between small microcosms such as Vernazza, Bonassola, and Voltaggio and extended stays in South America, my childhood dream became my project. I moved to Paris to complete my studies and work at the Opera.
My professional life has given me so much and made me travel even more. I worked in major opera houses, such as the Paris Opera and the Palau de las Artes in Valencia, with great artists and amazing people and in 2011, I came back to the Cinque Terre to help my loved ones after the flood that swept away and devastated their lives.
Besides travelling whenever I can, I now run a boutique hotel in Levanto, deal with tourism marketing and destination management, write about travel and the Italian Riviera on several websites, and, above all, try not to lose sight of my North.
How long will this stage last? I don’t know 😉
To me, the important thing is, of course, to travel, always… Not only in the literal sense of the word. I sincerely love to travel, daydreaming for hours, imagining lives and stories through the books I can’t stop reading or while listening to music, and leaving my thoughts, memories, and imagination wandering.
I love to travel to understand and discover myself and for the joy of the solo trip planning part.
From Silvia Moggia to Silvia’s Trips
I decided to open my blog following the advice of some friends, who suggested I start transcribing my travel notes and posting them online.
I only cover my experiences, and my trips are exclusively independent. Therefore, my posts contain practical information, many tips, and not a few advice against …
With my stories, I hope to keep you company and make you dream and imagine travels to organize them and, as soon as possible, to pack and leave.
Where to start reading?
Well, you could, for instance, begin with Paris-related posts, horse-riding holidays and general travel tips.

Other blogs
My mix of past and current experiences, various passions, and love for writing explain why some other travellers and tourism professionals occasionally grant me space on their blogs. I can’t thank them enough.
If you can read Italian and are interested in the tourism industry, you can also find me on Officina Turistica, a travel industry blog I curate and write for.
Happy travels!
