Founder & curator

Elena

Elena is the founder of Globara — an Italian travel designer with more than 15 years of experience in travel, hospitality, partnerships and destination expertise.

Born between Turin and the rolling hills of the Langhe, she lived in Ireland before making Spain home, and has explored more than 40 countries across Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Along the way she found that the most meaningful journeys aren’t defined by famous landmarks, but by authentic moments and genuine human connection — the idea that became Globara.

Because the journeys that stay with us the longest are often the ones that allow us not only to discover a place — but to return home seeing the world, and ourselves, differently.

People on the ground

The team behind every journey

A Globara journey is only as good as the people who bring it to life. Behind every itinerary is a trusted network built over years — the locals who open doors, set tables and share the stories you’d never find alone.

Hoteliers & concierges

Partners who look after you from arrival to check-out — with perks and upgrades.

Winemakers & chefs

The makers who open their cellars and kitchens and share their craft.

Private drivers

Discreet, reliable and always on time — the quiet backbone of every day.

How we work

01

On a Group Trip

You enquire, we confirm your place with a 30% deposit, and a pre-departure guide arrives before you fly. Elena hosts from the first aperitivo to the last morning. Ten guests at most; the route and the dates are set.

On a private journey

We start with a call to understand how you love to travel. Then we shape every detail — stays, transport, tables and experiences — into one itinerary, and stay a message away while you travel.
