Verona Snapshot Tour

I'll show you Verona - you decide how! Verona is my adopted city, but I know her well, and I'd like nothing better than to show you around. I was born in Norway, and moved permanently to Italy in 2014. However, 2014 was not when I first came to Italy or to Verona. In fact, I lived bang in the center of Verona for a year, working as an English teacher at a school in the province. This was quite a few years before moving here permanently. Now I live a bit outside of the city - marrying an Italian man often means settling down near where his mother lives. Sometimes one just has to adapt to the circumstances! I've been a guide in Verona for a few years now, and I am always excited to show visitors around. Being enthusiastic about Verona is really quite easy: - She's often lively, but rarely chaotic. - She is strangely harmonious despite being home to a mishmash of buildings from different historical periods. - She looks good any time of year, and always has something to offer. - She is filled to the brim with famous historical landmarks, but also hides lesser-known, equally lovely gems. - She offers a multitude of restaurants and bars; some calm and secluded, others bustling with life. - She is charming, and a fun place to be. I have created tours that I would like to go on myself if I were to visit Verona. I hope you find something that appeals to you. However, should you want something different, then I am happy to customize and create something just for you. Just let me know, and we'll work out an itinerary together. Leaving Norway, I left behind a teaching profession, and created a new career for myself in my new home country. As a guide and tour leader I actually get to do what I loved most about teaching: communicating with others about issues that I am passionate about (but don't worry, there will be no exams for you to sit / for me to correct). So, what do I do when I am not showing visitors around Verona? I will very often be spotted knitting in public (in fact, I usually have a knitting project with me in my bag - whenever I have the time, I'll knit a few stitches or a few rounds). Or, if I am home in my office, then I might just be working on designing a website for a small business (unless I am creating a new tour to offer!). Anyway, that's enough about me for now. Let's meet on one of my tours! - Licensed city guide. (Every licensed city guide can conduct tours in any city in Italy by law, but we all specialize in certain cities. I have specialized in Verona). - Licensed tour leader. This means I can also accompany visitors in e.g. restaurants or wine cellars. - Licensed nature / trekking guide. - Certified Travel Designer (from Travel Designer Academy run by Francesca Pozzan) - Sommelier Level 1, FISAR (there is a total of three levels) - Course in Art History from the University of Oslo - Certified teacher from the University of Oslo + many years teaching experience
