Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Samuele, an environmental hiking guide. I've loved mountains and high altitude since I was small: I reached my first summit at 8 years old, and from that moment a long love story with nature and hiking began. Curious about the natural and geological world, I study the Abruzzo landscape and in particular the Maiella National Park, today the Maiella Geopark, a UNESCO Global Geopark. In 2022 I took part in the first training workshop for the Maiella-UNESCO Geopoints, becoming a Geopoint operator. Alongside hiking I study history and art: in 2021 I graduated in Cultural Heritage at the Gabriele D'Annunzio University of Chieti. A keen skier, my hobbies are fishing and mushroom picking. I'll be waiting in Abruzzo to show you the best of this land. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
