About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I like people and their lifes. I love kids and their smiles.
I like local food and foreign tasties. I love to enjoy food. Better with the hands!

ABOUT ME

I am a tourist guide and Rickshaw driver since 2010. When I work, I make tour by Bike, Rickshaw or by walk. I think that monuments are important but I prefer to show the real life of local people. My job is nice because I can meet many different people from all over the world.

When I'm free, I can surely show the old town of Bari to my guest and if I am really free, we can also have some one-day trip in the villages around Bari like Polignano, Monopoli, Alberobello, Matera, etc. etc.

I know when I'm free just some days before. It means that I can't be sure to host you one month before!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is cycling!
Ad maiora!
It's not allowed to eat spaghetti using a knife!
