Description

Hello! I’m Vera.
I’m an Italian smiling woman who likes meeting people and playing with kids.
Friends say it’s easy to be on the same wave with me as i'm emphatic, very cooperative and patient and sometimes I play the fool just to have fun together.
I love meeting people of different cultures and listen to theirs stories and share experiences and ideas chat and laught together.
I never get tired playing with kids.(wise enough because of my age and fully enjoying together by letting the child in me come out when I’m with kids) .
Art, music, singing, spending time in nature (enjoying landscapes, blue sky and the colours of the Nature) and going walking in small villages are my passions. I’m very curious about new places and anecdotes about the places I visit and tasting new food is a must for me.
I’m a tourist guide and I love going around discovering art, beauty and experiencing life in small villages and enjoy walking in open air.
I like learning new things and recently I’ve started practicing pottery and painting. Wow!... creating with hands is really exciting !!
