I'm an Archaeologist and official Tour Guide in Sicily. I'm an enthusiastic and passionate person, and what I like the most is getting in touch with people of different nationalities and delivering my knowledge and passion about the complex culture of Sicily: Art, Architecture, Archaeology, Folklore, Traditions! I was born in a little town along the north-east coast of the island, in the territory of Messina, and every day when I wake up, I can enjoy the wonderful view of the Aeolian Islands in front of it! I have graduated in Classical Archaeology and I have been around Italy for many years digging with my team in order to discover Roman and Greek ruins. My curiosity and my natural attitude of doing new experiences brought me to London for four years, until in 2018 I finally decided to go back to my origins, my first love : Sicily! I got the official Tour Guide license and ever since I've been working as a professional guide, trying to turn my passion into a job! It will be my pleasure to lead you around Messina and its region: my goal will be to let you live as a local, show you the wonders and the unusual spots of this corner of paradise, let you meet our people and discover our traditions! I can't wait to tell you about our long and fascinating journey through centuries! What are you waiting for? Contact me and I will let you experience Sicily not just as a guide but as a friend who wants to show you her favourites places! Post-graduate School in Classic Archeology Certificate of Completion : Ancient Topography Tour Guide License: Art History, Archaeology, Tourism, Traditions. - Sicilian Tourist Department Wset Level 1 Award in Wine (QCF) I am not a guide driver, but I could accompany you in your vehicle or hire a professional driver with a car to get us around.
