Who Am I?

My name is Kelly Rodavich and I am the founder of Viaggio Travel. I have been working on this business for the past four years - trying to turn a passion into a way of life. This has taken me to some of the most incredible places in the world and my goal is take you with me, or at least, show you how to get there.

How did I get here? Well, my original dream was to own a restaurant in Rome.. So I studied Hotel/Restaurant Management at Penn State, and studied abroad in Italy for five weeks. I had never even been to Italy before but somehow I knew I wanted to end up in Rome. When I finally got to Rome in the summer of my junior year, that was it. I couldn’t stop going back to Italy after that (ten times and counting so far..)

After undergrad, I was transferred to Beverly Hills to work with a notoriously intense restaurant group as a management trainee and quickly a General Manager after being transferred to Scottsdale. After a few years with the company, I woke up one day and I said “I’m quitting and moving to Italy” - which is exactly what I said to my regional director and he looked at me like I was crazy. That night, I booked a six week trip to Rome (you know, just like any sane person does)..

This six week journey was really the start of the rest of my life. Because I had spent so much time there, I began giving endless travel advice to anyone and everyone who asked me for it. I quickly wondered why I wasn’t doing this full-time.

Fast forward four years of literally having five jobs at once just to be able to build this business while also being able to leave the country for months at a time.. I welcome you Viaggio Travel Consulting LLC.
