Written by the company

The Travel Academy is the community of Great Travelers. People united by their curiosity for distant places. But not only that, it's also a very "social" group that loves to communicate. After visiting over 50 countries, one enters the CGV Club Great Voyagers, which gathers the most knowledgeable travelers on the planet. For the members, we organize trips, events, exhibitions, and publications. Our trips are unique and take you to little-known regions. Unforgettable, intense, and genuine experiences. We turn tourists into travelers and travel influencers. We publish e-books, tutorials, and courses on travel photography and writing. We post travel reports and itineraries tested by Ovidio Guaita and the members. The Travel Academy was born from an international project to promote travel culture, supported by the publishing house Palidano Press in London. Both entities are part of Palidano LLC, based in the United States. We offer a few select travel proposals exclusively reserved for community members. All designed for Great Travelers, organized by directly contacting the best local correspondents. Competitive prices, reliable services, and personalized, tested itineraries for unique and unforgettable travel experiences. After the first trip, members are entitled to a 10% discount on all subsequent ones. The Academy publishes a series of travel books. Through Palidano Press, regions and lesser-known destinations are documented annually. In most cases, texts and photos are contributed by members collaborating on the publications. The books are distributed for free to members during the year-end gala in Florence. The photographic exhibitions organized by the Academy are held in prestigious venues and under the patronage of local institutions. Every December, the National Year-End Gala is held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Florence or the Grand Hotel Palace in Rome in collaboration with Resorts Magazine. One of the most elegant and glamorous events in the Tuscan capital. Members of the Academy have access to e-books and educational tutorials created by Ovidio Guaita and other contributors. Topics range from travel, photography, and video, to photo and video editing. La Travel Academy è la community dei Grandi Viaggiatori. Persone unite dalla curiosità per luoghi lontani. Ma non solo, anche una specie molto "social" che ama mettersi in comunicazione.

I nostri viaggi sono originali e ti portano in regioni poco conosciute. Esperienze uniche, intense, vere. Praticamente indimenticabili. Trasformiamo i turisti in viaggiatori e travel influencer. Pubblichiamo e-book, tutorial e corsi per fotografare e scrivere in viaggio. Postiamo reportage e itinerari di viaggio sperimentati da Ovidio Guaita e dai membri. La Travel Academy nasce da un progetto internazionale di diffusione della cultura del viaggio promosso e sostenuto dalla casa editrice Palidano Press di Londra. Entrambe le realtà sono parte della Palidano LLC con sede negli Stati Uniti. Proponiamo poche e selezionate proposte di viaggio riservate in esclusiva ai membri della community. Tutte pensate per Grandi Viaggiatori, organizzate contattando direttamente i migliori corrispondenti locali. Prezzi competitivi, servizi sicuri, itinerari personalizzati e testati per esperienze di viaggio uniche e indimenticabili. Dopo il primo viaggio si ha diritto al 10% di sconto su tutti gli altri. L’Academy pubblica una collana di volumi dedicati al viaggio. Attraverso la casa editrice Palidano Press con cadenza annuale vengono documentate regioni e destinazioni meno note. Nella maggior parte dei casi testi e foto sono dei membri che collaborano alle pubblicazioni. I volumi vengono distribuiti gratuitamente ai membri durante il gala di fine anno a Firenze. Le mostre fotografiche organizzate dall’Academy si tengono in ambienti prestigiosi e con il patrocinio delle istituzioni locali. Ogni anno a dicembre si tiene il Gala Nazionale di fine anno al Four Seasons Hotel di Firenze o al Grand Hotel Palace di Roma in collaborazione con Resorts Magazine. Uno degli eventi più eleganti e glamorous del capoluogo toscano. I membri dell’Academy hanno accesso agli e-book e ai tutorial formativi creati da Ovidio Guaita ed altri contributor. Gli argomenti spaziano dal viaggio, alla fotografia, ai video, all’editing sia fotografico che video.

This advanced iPhone photo editing…

This advanced iPhone photo editing course exceeded my expectations! Ovidio demonstrated advanced techniques, such as fine-tuning shadows, sharpness, and using filters creatively, all while using simple and accessible apps. It really helped me take my travel photos to the next level. Recommended for those who already have some basics and want to perfect their editing skills. Note: it's only in Italian, and I help from my husband who has Italian roots.

I like the video courses

The video course 'Viaggiare nel 2025' is a unique opportunity to learn how to travel not just as tourists, but as cultural explores. The experts at Travel Academy shared practical strategies for immersing yourself in local cultures, from customers to immersing yourself in local cultures, from customers to culinary traditions. I found the video course extremely interesting and full of useful tips for my future travels. The only downside it that it's only available in Italian, and I struggled to follow it even through I am bilingual.
