The Geostrata team is passionate about global mobility and helping our clients.
Our team is a highly-qualified group of international professionals located in Philadelphia, PA and Rome, Italy. We have a diverse array of experience and we have worked at international students’ centers in Europe and North America, held fellowships at international relations think tanks, and worked in corporate business. What brought us together is our love of travel, experiencing new cultures, and helping others achieve their dreams.
At Geostrata, our mission is to help Americans discover a new life in Europe. European countries are famous for their world-class cuisine, breathtaking natural beauty, classical architecture, and artwork. Equally important are their affordable education systems, accessible public transport, universal healthcare, safety, personal freedoms, open borders, and sense of calm. We believe that many Americans have a fulfilling and serene life ahead of them in Europe, and we are here to make that dream a reality!

When I founded Geostrata in 2025, the mission was simple: to help Americans discover a new, fulfilling life in Europe.
My connection to Europe began early. As a child, my parents took me to Italy to visit family, and I quickly developed a deep appreciation for the culture, architecture, and pace of life. As an adult, I expanded my travels to France, Switzerland, Slovenia, Austria, and beyond. While each country was unique, one thing remained constant—a different way of living that deeply resonated with me.
After years working in corporate management in the United States, I found myself wanting something more. I returned to my academic roots in international relations and set out to build something meaningful—something that could genuinely change lives.
Geostrata was created to remove the friction from the European relocation process. It is a company grounded in values that matter to me: diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, environmental responsibility, education, and mobility.
Above all, Geostrata is built for the dreamers—the people who know they want a change, who feel called to something different, but aren’t sure where to begin.
And now, here we are—turning that vision into reality.
I’m glad you’re here.
