About Us

Welcome to Daily City Explorer, where every inbox is a portal to a new city - minus the jet lag and lost luggage.

Our Mission

At Daily City Explorer, we believe every city has a story to tell, and boy, do we love a good story! Our mission? To transform your daily email check from a mundane task into a globe-trotting adventure. We're here to satisfy your craving for exploration, one email at a time, without the need for you to change out of your pajamas (though we won't judge if you want to dress up for the occasion).

Your Guides

Olivia Columba

Our resident wordsmith with a penchant for uncovering the quirkiest nooks and crannies of every city she encounters. Armed with a sophisticated palate and a wit sharper than a London cab driver's turn, Olivia brings you the crème de la crème of city discoveries. Whether it's finding the best spot for afternoon tea in Tokyo or uncovering a secret speakeasy in New York, Olivia's got you covered. Just don't ask her about the time she got lost in Venice – or do, if you have a few hours to spare.

Rocco Gmelin

If cities were roller coasters, Rocco would have a season pass. Our adventurous spirit with an enthusiasm that could power a small city, Rocco is your go-to guide for all things exhilarating. From scaling the highest peaks for the perfect city view to diving into local festivals with gusto, Rocco brings the 'carpe diem' to every city exploration. He's never met a street food he wouldn't try or an alleyway he wouldn't explore – all in the name of bringing you the most thrilling city experiences.
