She often travels for work, but once her office’s door closes she loves exploring spots and authentic customs of the places she visits, whether they are on the other side of the World or in Umbria, her land, that she deeply loves.In the past she has also collaborated with two incoming tour operators; she is now studying to acquire the title of touristic operator and deepening her knowledge of Umbria traditions.

No matter where she is going to be in the future…She will keep on travelling.
