school trip towards Greece Many people, friends and relatives , have been asking  me if I wanted to become a tourist guide.. Yes I wanted and I remember exactly the moment I decided! When I was a teenager I liked various professions (journalist, fashion stylist and interpreter) but  I discovered this wonderful job during a school trip in Greece . We had a very good guide there for three days  . He was so nice, professional, passionate and I fell in love with this job Yes I think it was that  moment when I said to myself: I want to be a  TOURIST GUIDE ! Here I am, after 18 years, still doing my job with great passion and curiosity , happy to meet every day new people and sharing with them my love for my Sicily! *Jann now you know!
