Me at Pulau Weh's viewpoint

About Me

Hi! I’m Lisa, a thirty-something Italian who one day discovered she finds true joy in traveling to new places and meeting new people. I love the surprises that walking and exploration bring, but I also enjoy cuddle time with my cat. After living as an expat for a few years, I’m currently rediscovering my hometown, Rome, and the surrounding areas. Learning languages is another passion I have.

If you want to know more about me, or work with me, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Read More
