Hello! We are Raffaella and Simone, a couple in life as well as in travel, and the two souls behind Shortcut to.

Engaged in a long distance relationship, we have spent many weekends milling miles from west to east (or vice versa) between trains, coincidences, suitcases to do and to unpack. Travel has always been in our destiny.

In May 2012 we travel for the first time together outside the national borders, the destination is London. Since then, whenever we can, we book a flight and leave for the next destination.

With our blog we want to encourage some traveler-dreamer, those who travel only sitting on the couch scrolling instagram, saying to themselves “this is not for me, I can not afford it “, to change your mind and leave. Our travels aren’t appearance, our photos are amateur and our budget is tight. If we can do it why can’t you?

If you like art and to visit museums, if you want advice on attractions or you want to visit as much as possible but you don’t know how to organize everything, if you want to know some economic alternatives on where to stay, eat or how to move around the city, our “shortcut” may be useful for you too!

Have a look and enjoy!
