Planet. Purpose.
Travel for us has always been about the people we meet on the journey, and that journey extends to all areas of life. Travel is a part of the journey of life that opens our minds to awareness of how other people live, the rituals of different cultures, the energy of a space or place that is unfamiliar and the tastes, smells, emotions that awaken all the senses.

I'm originally from the very bottom of the South Island of New Zealand, and grew up on a remote farm in the middle of nowhere. We used to have people from all over the world stay with us on that farm, igniting my fascination with the rest of the world that was so far away at the time. In the past 15 years I have lived in 3 different continents and experienced life from a space of limitless possibility. Satopia is a space where my love of creativity, life experience and personal transformation come together to benefit others. One of the things that inspired Satopia was a trip I took to Nepal, which followed with a foundation that I established that raised over $50k to support a wonderful school and community of people who I cherished for their commitment to educating many children who came from difficult circumstances. We started to organised travel experiences for people to visit the school and learn more about the local communities in Bhaktapur and the Kathmandu Valley. Through these experiences and my active participation in the study of transformation, I became interested in human potential and mindset philosophy for the past 17 years with a fascination of the foundation of freedom, self expression and purpose. This is what I bring to Satopia and how we infuse our Hosted Experiences for our guests.
I grew up in Alexandria, on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt. I've had the opportunity to learn so much about the ancient world, languages, the arts, and the cultural influences between nations across the foundation of Eastern and Western civilisations. Later on, I went on to study Industrial Engineering and Environmental Decision Making which led me to working with a large multinational organisation on sustainability projects, across almost every continent on the planet. Travel has been a constant source of expanding my own view of the world, the more I travel the more I realised how it's always been essential to the evolution of humanity throughout history. The story of travel can educate us on the history of collective human knowledge through the spread of ideas all over the planet. Satopia is a way for me to create culturally enriching experiences that shift people's perspectives in life. I design experiences so that we can collectively learn and then share these journeys in a way that shape the future.
Milan born and Puglia raised, I have always wanted to be a globetrotter. Living in the south of Italy made me aware of the value of local communities, this is something I have always appreciated, the connectedness of people and the value of strong relationships. Deeply fond of my roots, I grew up with a suitcase always ready to leave to explore new destinations in Italy or abroad, almost every weekend.
When you are young, people often ask “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Well, I ended up studying international law with the dream to work for an international organisation. After a few years, I realised that something was missing in my life. I was missing the adrenaline and the excitement of learning something new… I wanted the opportunity not only to think out of the box, but to explore innovation and creativity. So, I changed my career in the search of a more fulfilling experience in life and now I am proud to be a part of a team that is creating an empowering community and making a difference in the world. What do I bring from my past experience? The discipline and commitment to serving others in a way that connects people to what's possible in life.
