The first time I "fell in Love" it was the eighties, I was 4 years old and I was on holiday with my parents at the Canary Islands: his name was Westin, he was 5 and British... we would speak zero, but we would exchange intense glances and share glasses of iced Coke with two straws, sitting on two barstools higher than us while our families would stare at us and smile.
That trip is the first one that I have memories of and I remember "falling in love", fainting while climbing a volcano, dealing with a different currency for the first time, learning my first five words of Spanish, but above all, I clearly remember the moment when, once back at home few days later, I was longing for those feelings and I felt my wanderlust for the first time.
I consider myself blessed for having been raised in a family where traveling, exploring and experiencing are considered to be investments on your own person and soul, and so my decision to embrace tourism field was made very early and quite naturally: I graduated as a foreign languages interpreter when I was 22 and started working as a European Tour Leader the year after, I'm also a Tourist Guide in Rome and I have been designing tours for various companies and private clients in the last years.
As a precocious traveler of this world I’ve learned on my skin how easy it is to become addicted to it. As a tour leader I deepened my knowledge of European itineraries and beauties and learned how to meet the needs and expectations of my clients. As a local guide in Italy, I’ve experienced the beauty of my country through my clients’ eyes and learned how to help them jump into the local culture. As a Travel Advisor, cooperating with Departure Lounge and Virtuoso gives me the possibility to put together all of my knowledge and experiences and translate them into wonderful trips all over the world that represent the best experiences for my clients.
I'm deeply convinced that knowledge, quality in the organization and attention to the client can be more important than the destination itself, Are you ready for your next “WOW”?
