CURRENT MISSION

Based in Brescia, but most of the time sailing across the Tyrrenian sea. I’m a geographer. i work for an NGO on social project on sailing boat 🛥

I also work on environmental education, mostly in schools.
I'm a naturalistic guide at Torbiere Natural Reserve in Iseo.
We can organize some walk/hikes around :D
I love Montisola in Lake Iseo and Manerba in Lake Garda.

I've been studying and travelling around the world (mostly LatinAmerica) for the past 6 years.
I don't like big cities (for more than 4 days), I love to stay in the nature as much as possible.
I'm a permaculture fan.

In Brescia: I'd love to show you the little streets around, have a paki rice in Carmine and bring you to Iseo Lake, one of my favourite spots (where you can visit Montisola, the biggest lake island in Europe, as they say..)

I like to swim, I love sunsets.
I'm fan of pizza, ice-cream and everything new!
