Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Cinzia, an environmental hiking guide, and I can't wait to walk together, take in some landscapes and get to know new places in cheerful company. I put a lot of care and a lot of time into choosing what to offer: I only pick the outings that move me, whether it's the views, the nature, the traditions (culinary ones included, obviously), the people or the history. The reason is simple — if they don't move me, they're unlikely to move the people walking with me. What I love most is the moment we head back: everyone carries home in their little backpack not just good photos and smiles, but something extra to remember. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
