A PLACE FOR CURIOUS MINDS & OPEN HEARTS
Immerse yourself in the world’s vast beauty and culture
one destination at a time.
WE BELIEVE
the most memorable travel experiences contain multitudes.
One day you’re dressed to the nines for a meal on the Mediterranean Sea. The next day, you’re hiking a mountain to breathtaking views, and later, you’re chatting with local artisans at the outdoor market about their one-of-a-kind pieces.
Travel isn’t simply a change of scenery, but rather, we travel because our souls crave it. It shapes our perspectives in an incomparable way, opening our eyes to the unfamiliar while simultaneously reminding us how intrinsically linked we truly are.
I'm Brittany Pigorini.
Founder of Unfolded Travels with an affinity for exploring the hidden gems of the world.
Just a few years ago, I was completely burnt out in all aspects of my life. My luxury event rental business was thriving and I was proudly working with incredible clients — Facebook, Nike, and Google, just to name a few — but I struggled to carve out time to recharge and fuel my travel-loving spirit.
When I did decide to take a trip, I wasn’t able to enjoy the getaway I so desperately needed because planning the itinerary was a second full-time job in and of itself. I’m sure you can relate— with a demanding career and lifestyle, it’s understandable to feel like you simply don’t have the bandwidth to plan every important logistical detail required to travel.
IN 2021, MY FAMILY AND I DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR A FRESH START…
When you have an Italian husband, Europe is always a good idea. After much careful thought and discretion, I closed my business. With our two little boys in tow, my family relocated to Lake Como, Italy to start anew. Traveling in Europe is far more accessible, as I could easily visit countries I’d always dreamt of exploring, if even for a short weekend trip. It wasn’t long before I felt compelled to share these travel experiences with others, too.
Travel advisory was a natural career segue for me. Innately, I’m obsessed with organization, details, and logistics, and I’m deeply passionate about sharing the incomparable experiences travel has to offer.
You can think of me as your discerning friend who’s been everywhere, thinks of everything, and is always present to offer support & guidance — wherever your travels may take you.

I'm Tess Anawaty.
I spend my time visiting luxury hotels worldwide to learn which properties are the ideal fit for our clientele.
Born and raised in Vermont, I now call Austin, Texas home. If you were to ask my friends, they'd describe me as an enthusiastic home chef with a penchant for reggae nights and a deep love for animals (particularly, dogs).
From a young age, I've had an unquenchable thirst for travel and adventure. It has led me to some of the world's most beautiful destinations. I’m the proud mama of two little boys, and there is nothing that brings me greater joy than a life filled with exploration alongside my family.
