        About Me

        Ciao! 
        My name is Claire and I've been living in Florence, Italy, for over  20 years. In non-viral times I work as a tour guide, taking people on walking and cycling tours to some of Europe's most fascinating destinations. Since most people are home-bound right now I decided to do some "virtual guiding" for my friends around the world. Happy trails, and let me know what you think!
