My roots are in Venice and its region; I grew up between Venice and Padua, where I graduated in Political Sciences. My job as a journalist brought me to Belgium and France. After Brussels and Paris, I live now with my family between Venice, Rome and Bordeaux (here I spent the latest 3 years running a first class B&B). I’ve always been an enthusiastic traveller, definitely more of a city person than a country one; I like the mess of cities where I always looki for ways of establishing a contact with the busy people around me. Smiling is my secret weapon (or so everyone says!) Of course, I need to be in nature to regenerate. I especially appreciate walking, trekking and biking and I am a member of local associations for the protection of the environment. My goal in life: Meeting people, discovering places, sharing experiences; in other words, opening your heart and mind to see beyond appearances. That’s what I hope to share with you!
