The spirit of Merlintravel

An atlas that
grows over time.

Merlintravel grows from a life connected to travel and a curiosity about the diversity of the world. It brings together places, history and stories, offering a first glimpse and an invitation to look further.

Over time, personal memories and experiences will join the guides, clearly presented as the author’s own accounts.

Merlintravel is a personal editorial project, not a travel agency or a commercial business.

Horacio and the origins of the project

I was born in Argentina in 1970 and moved to Assisi with my family in 1984. Tourism runs through my family’s history: my father founded Euromar Turismo in La Plata in 1968. I began working there in 1990, then continued in Italy alongside my father and sister from 1997.

Italy, the land of my father and ancestors, is the first chapter of Merlintravel. In time, my own travel memories will also become part of this atlas.
