Why we launched our YouTube channel: GlocalGems
GlocalGems is on YouTube with authentic content about slow, green, and genuine tourism. We tell the story of Italy from a fresh perspective: famous and hidden destinations, always with honesty.

Today, travelers are looking for something more. They want authentic experiences, honest advice, and real stories. That’s why we launched our YouTube channel: GlocalGems.
Behind every video is a simple idea: to highlight lesser-known Italy by telling its story in a direct, accessible, and genuine way.
An independent creator project
We are creators who know Italy well and love sharing it.
We don’t represent tourist boards or big brands. We are independent.
GlocalGems is a non-commercial project, crafted with passion and attention to detail. We want to show the country as it truly is, without filters.
Slow, green, and authentic tourism
The channel was born from a clear need: to offer an alternative to mass tourism. Our videos cover:
- Lesser-known villages
- Quiet and natural beaches
- Local festivals
- Walking and cycling itineraries
- Agriturismos, farmhouses, and small producers
Well-known places, seen differently
We don’t just focus on hidden spots.
We also showcase famous destinations, but from a new perspective: authentic, honest, and far less polished than what you see on social media.
Our point of view is that of someone who loves to explore and share, without pretense.
Why YouTube
We chose YouTube because it’s a free, direct, and visual platform. A video can help tell the story of a place.
Our content is short, clear, and simple. We don’t use special effects or complex editing. We show what we see, exactly as it is.
Every video aims to answer a real question:
Is this place worth visiting? What is there to see? How do you get there?
An extension of our blog
GlocalGems is connected to our multilingual blog, where we publish articles on monuments, beaches, farmhouses, events, and Italian cities.
YouTube allows us to complement that content, offering a more immediate experience.
If you read a post on our site, you’ll often find a related video with real images.
Who our channel is for
GlocalGems is aimed at:
- Curious travelers
- Lovers of authentic Italy
- Tourists seeking local experiences
- People who want to discover Italy from a different point of view
If you too dream of an Italy made of quiet villages, genuine flavors, and true encounters, you’re in the right place.
