Hi friends, I’m Caitlin Baronti!
I’m a Chicago-based travel blogger, lover of Italian food, a new mama to Baby B, and dog mom to Gus the sheepadoodle.
If you’ve stumbled across my corner of the internet, you’re likely someone who enjoys traveling to destinations that add a bit of adventure to your life. I feel you. My goal is to inspire travelers to explore new places while using my detailed blog posts to help you along the way. When you come to my blog, the expectation is finding Well Read Travels—carefully researched guides, tips, tricks, and advice to make your adventures unforgettable.
My Story
I became intrigued by the idea of travel when I was about ten years old, exploring library books when I stumbled across a series about different countries around the world. Needless to say, I became hooked on these books and quickly decided I wanted to experience these unique cultures for myself when I was old enough.
I studied abroad in Florence, Italy my junior year in college, and after that, my fate was sealed – I was officially in love with travel. Since then, I’ve traveled to 20 countries and counting, which has opened my eyes to so many beautiful people, cultures, and destinations. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel with my husband, Bill, who acts as the main photographer for this blog. We welcomed our daughter into the world at the end of 2023, and we’re excited to incorporate her into our future travel plans.
Throughout my travels, I’ve realized that curating valuable research for each trip is my strong suit, and I’m excited to share those guides with you.
Thanks for being here!
