Welcome to Europe Obsessed, your go-to scrapbook of wanderlust-inducing tales, your compass in the enchanting maze of Italy’s streets, and your how-to manual for everything from sipping the finest Chianti to navigating the historic cobblestones of Rome with the savvy of a local.

Our journey began in 2024, with a dream as big as the Colosseum and a passion as deep as the Trevi Fountain’s waters. Europe Obsessed was born out of an irrepressible love affair with Italy and a desire to share this romance with our fellow American explorers.

Why Italy, you ask? Picture this: Biting into a slice of heaven called pizza in Naples, feeling the gentle rush of the Positano breeze, marveling at Florence’s awe-inspiring art – Italy is not just a place you visit; it’s an experience you live. And we’re here to ensure you live it to the fullest.

Our Ethos

We’re casual, with a pinch of humor in our pocket, brimming with stories to tell and advice to give. We believe in authenticity – no sugarcoated reviews or glossy, unrealistic expectations. Each recommendation is a postcard from our own travels, sent to you with love and the promise of the genuine Italian taste.

We traverse beyond the typical tourist trails to bring you the hidden alleyways and the local haunts. Our guides are more than instructions; they’re cultural passages designed to immerse you wholly in ‘la dolce vita’.

Guidebooks with Guts

Our articles? As stuffed as a cannoli with detail, and seasoned with tidbits only a local would know. We don’t do vague. Our commitment is to give you the nitty-gritty, from buongiorno to buona notte: the how’s, the why’s, and the when’s that turn a trip into an epic story.

Whether it’s scoping out the coziest bed & breakfasts, dissecting the dos and don’ts of Italian etiquette, or providing you with a meticulous breakdown of Italy’s confusing train system – we’ve been there, done that, and we’re handing you the roadmap.

Ethical Recommendations

We keep it ethical. Like a fine espresso, our choices are strong and upright. Europe Obsessed consciously steers clear of anything that casts a shadow on the sunny Italian ethos. We recommend tours that respect the environment and the local culture, accommodations that believe in sustainability, and experiences that support local communities.
