Francesca

Hi there! My name is Francesca I’m passionate about arts, languages, and genuine connections. At the moment, I’m majoring in economics and communication for tourism in Lugano, Switzerland.

Originally from Sanremo, I grew up on the Ligurian coast, where I lived for 18 years before moving to Turin to start college. I know Liguria quite well—I loved exploring new places there, and I also lived in quite a number of cities while growing up. I love sharing its culture and hidden gems with people who are not yet familiar with this beautiful region.

Because I lived in Turin for almost four years during college, I also feel confident in my knowledge of its best local trattorias, must-visit corners and neighborhoods, and how to get the best views of the city’s skyline.

Additionally, I’m half-Brazilian on my mom’s side, so I can also provide explanations in Portuguese if needed!

I'm an expert when it comes to local restaurants (I'm a big foodie), cafeterias, the best beaches, hidden gems, and transportation tips both in Liguria and Torino. Specifically, I can help you planning your trip going anywhere from Sanremo, to Alassio, Finale Ligure, Genova, and Cinque Terre.
