Paola has been a Venice tourist guide since 2012. After her MA in Foreign Languages and Cultures, with honors, Paola has spent time in different European countries, such as France, Austria, Germany, Greece and Norway. Every such experience has been the occasion to increase her linguistic skills and, above all, to make the acquaintance of other cultures and points of view. In Greece and Norway, Paola worked as a tour leader and tourist guide, an experience that made her discover her vocation for tourism as a form of mediation between places and cultures. When back in Venice, where she has been living for seven years now, she started a new university degree in Cultural Anthropology, with a specialization in Anthropology of tourism. Meanwhile, she obtained her license to operate as Official Specialized Guide in Venice. In her opinion, curiosity, enthusiasm, and competence are the three key words to approach not only the city, its monuments and works of art, but also its people and traditions.
