About

Born in Turin, where I have lived most of my life and where I studied Leisure & Tourism, once I graduated I felt the strong need to have an experience abroad.
So I moved to London, where I perfected my English at Southgate College and eventually lived there for 5 years.
Where I also collaborated with Ryanair as a ground and air hostess for two years, I must admit with grueling working hours! The emerald green of London, as well as the monarchy, have always fascinated me, even the rain has its own beauty! I started to love the Sunday Roast Beef lunch and afternoon tea times too!
Histrionic but very attached to my roots, today I live in my beloved Umbria where my roots are and where I belong!
I love nature, immersing myself in the woods, taking long walks refreshes me, but also spending entire afternoons in the various contemporary museums is very passionate to me!

Alessandra's best travel experience

On one of my trips, I was in Mexico, on a rainy day I decided to go and explore around my village, I ended up in a Padi diving center where they offered me the most beautiful experience of my life to date.
I swam with four dolphins! It was an unforgettable experience! I was with them in the water doing stunts, they pushed me out of the water as if I were a feather, it really felt like a dream come true!
I didn't want to get out of there!
I even kissed them at the end! Truly unique!
