About me


To finish, a short word about me. I am a curious and enthusiast person, I love travelling and exploring new places and I adapt easily to new situations. I enjoy participating actively in a team but I  can also work autonomously. My passion for the mountains was gifted to me by my mother, who was born in Trentino. I spent every summer and winter of my childhood hiking in these mountains, and now as an adult I enjoy living in this world class location for backpacking, climbing, alpine skiing or paragliding.
I love sharing my love for nature with kids, and with joy I 
organise summer camps on environmental education in my house in Italy.
