Shore Excursion: Valencia Then and Now

¡Hola! My name is Manuel, I was born in Valencia and let me tell you something about myself... I'm archaeologist and Official Guide of the Region of Valencia, and the most important thing: completely in love with this beaufitul city of Valencia. Since I was a child, History and Art have fascinated me, so I studied a universitary degree in History and aslo another in Art History at the University of València, and I completed my studies with a master's degree in Cultural Heritage at the same university. When I finished them, I decided to see the world and live abroad. I ended up living in Vancouver (Canada) for one year. The experience was unbeliable and then, I started a new adventure, another year abroad, but this time in Kyoto (Japan). Both experiences let me improve my social skills, besides becoming, involuntarily, in an ambassador of my city, Valencia. Then I realized that I enjoyed spreading the wonders of my hometown and showing the city to me friends when came to Valencia to visit me. Meanwhile, I finished my master's degree in Archaeology, after finishing my studies, I worked as an archaeologist for three years in Valencia and surrounding areas. All this allowed me to obtain broader knowledge about the history of the city. But even so, it always caught my attention to also be a tour guide, so I took the exam to become a tour guide and it is something I do NOT regret. Nowadays I really enjoy showing my city to the rest of the world and my enthusiasm gets the better of me in every tour. I've been a tour guide for over 3 years now, living abroud in such different countries helped me understand all types of international travelers and their desires.
