What does Passero mean?

Passero is Italian for sparrow, the most ubiquitous bird in the world, found in every continent except for Antarctica. It represents our mission to get more people to expand their network beyond borders.

We believe that humans reach their full potential and achieve inner & external awareness by taking journeys to the unknown. Traveling is no longer just a holiday but an essential part of discovering ourselves and feeling connected.
