A meaningful experience
A meaningful experience
I am Maripi, a woman with a vast history of travels that began at age 4 thanks to my adventurous father. My voyages to Japan, the Philippines, Tahiti, Hawaii, Samoa, Hong Kong, Greece, Thailand, Italy, and many other places became experiences engraved in my
heart.
Since then, my life began to revolve around trips to get to know time and again wonderful
countries, cities, and towns all over the world. I often return to many of them, because I learned that even a familiar place can always be different and new.
In 2009 I had the idea of creating an approachable travel agency, with more flexible schedules, that accompanies people and shares the lessons learned through experiencing life. I have always believed that it would make the perfect combination with MShop, my store for skate and climbing apparel, from where I have remained connected to adventure.
One day I asked my son for his opinion on whether I should undertake a new adventure. He
immediately said: “Go for it, mom, if it makes you happy”. And so I started out.
In 2022 life took me once again to Italy, this time to the south. I had not been in southern Italy, yet it was love at first sight. Since then I have gone back more than 5 times.
My Italian teacher/friend and her friends have taught me to live what is known as “La Dolce Vita”. This inspired me to embark upon a journey in September 2023 with 10 women to show them as if through the eyes of Italians all the beauty that this land has yet to reveal.
All of your messages of appreciation have inspired me to go ahead with this proposal:
getting to know, enjoying, and sharing with other people in a meaningful way, guided by the same adventure-seeking motivation. Thank you for the opportunity of being part of a new adventure by your side.

Soy Maripi, una mujer con una enorme historia de viajes que comenzó a los 7 años gracias a mi padre aventurero. Japón, Filipinas, Tahiti, Hawaii, Samoa, Hong Kong, Grecia, Tailandia, Italia y tantos otros lugares que se convirtieron en experiencias grabadas en mi corazón.
Desde entonces mi vida comenzó a girar en torno a los viajes, para conocer y reconocer países, ciudades y pueblos maravillosos alrededor del mundo. Suelo volver a muchos de ellos, porque aprendí que también un lugar siempre puede ser diferente.
El año 2009 tuve la idea de crear una agencia de viajes cercana, con horarios más flexibles, acompañando a las personas y compartiendo el aprendizaje de todo lo vivido. Siempre pensé, sería la combinación perfecta junto a MShop, mi tienda de skate y escalada, desde donde siempre he seguido conectada a la aventura.
Un día le pregunté a mi hijo qué opinaba si emprendía una nueva aventura. Inmediatamente me dijo “dale mamá, si eso te hace feliz”. Así que empecé.
El 2022 la vida me llevó nuevamente a Italia, pero esta vez al sur. No había estado en el sur de Italia. Fue amor a primera vista. Ya he regresado más de 5 veces.
Mi profesora y amiga italiana y sus amigos me enseñaron a vivir lo que era “La Dolce Vita”. Esa fue la inspiración que me llevó a emprender un viaje en septiembre de 2023, con 10 mujeres para mostrarles con mirada italiana lo más bello por descubrir en este lugar.
Todos vuestros mensajes de agradecimiento me han motivado a seguir adelante con esta propuesta; conocer, gozar y compartir en forma cercana con otras personas bajo la misma motivación aventurera.
Gracias por la oportunidad de ser parte de una nueva aventura junto a ti.
