CRAFTED ESCAPES
VIVIANA BERTINETTO-GARRETT
Born and raised in the vibrant city of Torino, Italy, I developed a deep appreciation for culture, cuisine, and, of course, travel.
TRAVEL ADVISOR
For the past 15 years, I’ve been fortunate to call Southern California home, where I’ve embraced a dynamic blend of Italian roots and West Coast lifestyle. Traveling has been a passion of mine since childhood, and over the years, it’s evolved into something more profound—a way to connect with different people, immerse myself in diverse cultures, and create lifelong memories.
As a mother of two, I’ve found immense joy in introducing my children to the wonders of travel, instilling in them a sense of curiosity and adventure. Whether it’s discovering hidden gems in bustling cities or finding serenity in remote destinations, travel is an ever-evolving journey that continues to inspire me and it's something I truly cannot live without.
“We had an amazing experience with Viviana and crafted escapes. She helped our family create a dream trip to Europe! We had an amazing time and she suggested so many things we would not have done without her guidance. We will use Viviana again!”
