about original miles

Two sisters, one team and more than 1,500 journeys

Our way of travelling

Original Miles began with two Brazilian sisters living in Milan, sharing everything they discovered across Europe.

That way of looking at travel — going first, trying it, and only then recommending — became the essence of the brand, and still shapes how we work today.

Since then we have grown, crossed borders and built a team that makes every journey happen, from the first plan to the trip home.

Today, Original Miles is a members-only travel boutique specialized in planning and curating personalized journeys.

Ornella and Milena still travel, still discover, still bring references back. Alongside them there is a whole team turning repertoire, relationship and care into journeys designed for each member.

We believe a good recommendation starts with experience.

We travel, we see, we try, and we have built our curation over the years. But knowing the destination is only one part of it.

We also need to know who is travelling.

Because curation is not simply gathering good hotels, destinations and experiences. It is knowing how to choose between them.

It is from the combination of repertoire and relationship that a truly personalized journey is born.

  7. 2026

    Our platform gets a new experience and we bring artificial intelligence into our internal processes, using technology to work better and dedicate even more time to our clients.

We travel first. Then we recommend.

More than a phrase, this has always been how we build repertoire.

Seeing hotels, destinations and experiences in person helps us have an opinion, make choices and understand who each place is really right for.

But curation only becomes valuable when it meets the right person.

That is why our work starts with travel knowledge — and is completed by time, conversation and relationship.
