About

Svadore shares moments that make trips personal.

Svadore is a travel and lifestyle website that offers a local and intimate perspective into elements of travel that make each destination, each interaction, each experience, and each stay personal and unique to the individual traveler. While cliché experiences and attractions are important, Svadore takes you one step beyond helping you find your own personal connection with each destination. My mission is to:

  • Inspire you when choosing a destination or experience through my first-hand travel guides, reviews, round-ups and experiences
  • Save you a headache when searching for information
  • Take away the fear of traveling
  • Create meaningful experiences for you that enrichen life

Meet Sveva Marcangeli, Founder & Editor

My name is Sveva Marcangeli and I adore everything travel and lifestyle, hence – my brand Svadore was born. Travel has been a part of my life since birth. With expat-parents I spent a lot of my childhood globetrotting. I was born in Hong Kong and lived in Japan. As a kid I spent every summer in my parent’s hometowns of Milan and Lake Maggiore, Italy. At the age of 11 I moved to the US and have been in NY/CT ever since. I am Italian and American and speak 3 languages, including Italian and French. Being exposed to all these old villages, languages, cultures, cafés and foods ignited a passion in me to travel.

Today, I devote my free time to traveling (local and global) and sharing my experiences with the world via my own personal photography and experiences. I’ve collaborated with tourism boards, luxury hotel groups, retailers, health and wellness brands, transportation services, restaurants, cultural associations and more to promote a unique and personal travel experience in every corner of the world.

My travel experiences and content have been featured and published in numerous print and digital publications, including Cosmopolitan, SELF, Oprah Mag, Kayak, Redbook, Taste Atlas, AFAR, Readers Digest, When In Your State, and Escape-ology magazine. Prior, I worked in the media industry for brands such as AFAR, DEPARTURES, Women’s Health, and Cosmopolitan.

3 Things You Should Know About Me…

Pastries

I hate candy, but I have a sweet spot for pastries. There’s nothing more fulfilling in my mind than a well-made croissant, a baked good, a cake, a cookie, a donut, a dessert. Couple it with a cappuccino…and we’ll be friends forever.

Architecture

If you ever see me walking by any type of building, town, village, restaurant or even wellness spa that has an eye for design and architecture or a nod to local tradition, you will catch me swooning. I have a particular soft spot for arches.

Cultural Nuances

I have a thing for cultural nuances. But I guess that’s the whole point of my website right? I keep an eye out for anything that can only be experienced in this one destination, in this one place, in this one restaurant, that make the place unique. Like handmade goat milk soap from a farm in Turkey.
