Some journeys begin with a plane ticket. Mine began with a choice.

For ten years I worked as a social worker, a profession that taught me to listen and to look beyond appearances. Then I chose a life with more freedom, time and authenticity. Today I work as an independent professional guardian, a job built on responsibility, empathy and trust: the same values I bring when I travel.

I’ve never liked collecting destinations. I collect emotions, encounters and stories, far from mass tourism.

In 2019, after one of the hardest periods of my life, I set off alone for Kenya. That trip changed the way I see the world, and since then Africa has been part of my heart. In 2024 I returned with my partner Stefano for our symbolic wedding within the Giriama tribe.

This is the spirit of our group journeys: we start with Africa, then explore other corners of the world with the same curious, respectful outlook. Because the most beautiful journey is the one that brings you home with different eyes.
