About me: Being a tour guide has always been my dream since ever. I graduated in Cultural Tourism (Bachelor Degree) and Foreign Languages (Master Degree). What I love about my job is "being interpreter" (no just linguistic) between city and people, narrator's voice of the city. Thanks to this job, I've learned how to relate to people from all over and I consider my tourists as friends.
