about me

 I don't drink so much wine and my English is better than my Sicilian
but
 Sicula sugnu
that is
I deeply feel Sicilian



 
I was born  on St. Lucia’s day in Siracusa, in the south-east of Sicily. Here  I live and since 1994 I’ve been working as a qualified  tourist guide,after studying for a BA in foreign languages and literature and specializing in Tourism. I love cultural and culinary tours ,I mostly do in the so-called Val di Noto ( Siracusa, Ragusa and Catania ,well known Unesco Heritage area)
I fell in love with my job long time ago during a school holiday  in Greece. I enjoyed those days and  our guide who with passion and  simplicity showed all his love for his country and in telling stories.I was  just 17 years old when I decided to  become  a guide "at home". 
I love to introduce people to my places to reveal the wealth of art,archaeologcy  and culture that Sicily has to offer  My love  for food, photography,travelling,reading and art  are well combined in what I do  still with passionThat's why my blog and website are called Eva in Sicily  after Eve's story by Mark Twain. : guiding people I can look at my places through my tourists' eyes ,as for the first time, still with enthusiasmhere I am ! Always on the outlook for somethng new,exciting and interesting to share
