Pavia Rosati

Pavia Rosati boarded her first plane at nine months when her Italian mother took her to meet her grandparents at their villa outside Venice, a trip she repeated every year until college. As a result, her American classmates thought she was too Italian (“Where did you get those shoes?”) and her Italian aunts thought she was too American (“You’re eating what for dinner?”). Other early, formative trips saw her in pre-Perestroika Russia, where she learned to travel light, and post-Berlin-Wall Prague, where she learned to travel without a guidebook. A voracious and tireless explorer, she has lived in Italy, Paris, London, Washington, D.C., and New York City, and has spent her career covering emerging talent in culture, entertainment, food, and travel. She’s at her best and happiest sitting around a table in animated conversation with new and old friends.

She founded Fathom (fathomaway.com) with her co-author Jeralyn Gerba in 2011 to connect passionate travelers to the world’s best places, people, and experiences. What began as an editorial website is now an award-winning travel platform with digital guides, a consulting division, and a concierge service.
