⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I left a 9-5 existence and became an entrepreneur , I moved to Rome not knowing anyone and I’ve never looked back. I LOVE what I do. But I feel like a dying breed sometimes. Being a tour guide in the era of travel bloggers and influencers; I wonder where our profession will be in 10, 20, 30 years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We who studied 25 000 sites and went through a two year exam to get our license to prove to you, by board approval, we are a seal of guarantee that you will be shown and taught the best and the truest. You instead rely on Wikipedia and write travel guides to a city you visit once. You feel that by not having a guide, you are true to yourself and explore freely, yet I watch feed after feed with the same coffee shops, same gelato shops, same pizza places - and they are all on the very beaten path. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not all countries have guides, those with an exceptionally rich and long history do, Italy alone houses 40% of the UNESCO world heritage list. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A licensed tour guide isn’t some old, musty and tweed clad drawled boring you out of your mind; it’s also people like us; the young (well..) and the passionate and the ones who tell you the gossip of the behind the scenes of the lives of artists, who they are, whom they hated and why. You come to Italy and yes it’s pretty and yes the pretty colors and oh the food, but do you leave knowing WHY the Renaissance was such a game changer? Why the David stands in the direction he does? What Botticelli did on the walls of the Sistine chapel and what did Michelangelo do to Adam? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But my biggest fear is also that no one cares anymore, except the older crowds. But what happens when they go? Will we, as well? How much cultural and archeological and historical knowledge will be lost, because all that mattered was the photo and the ✅ of the bucket list; to see but not understand? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thoughts?

Dome of the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone in Piazza Navona, Rome. Agnes is one of the most-celebrated Roman martyrs. She refused to renounce her faith and was murdered during the persecution of the Christians by the Roman emperor Diocletian. The paintings in the dome depict Agnes in the glory of the heaven (1670-1683).

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We all want to be seen and we all want to be heard. Social media is a blessing and a curse where on one hand digital entrepreneurship has blossomed beautifully, but on the other hand people post perfect versions of themselves giving others a sense of not being enough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want your attention too, isn’t that funny? I want you to travel and be an explorer and I KNOW that some think “getting a guide will get in the way of my authentic self exploring”, but I want you to RETHINK this. There is a new generation of travel facilitators, not necessary travel agents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t actually need you to think that I’m pretty or that I have no problems - I mean I am 39, i’m actually ok with myself, I run a business in a super saturated field, I am mother and a wife and my friends live far away in Sweden where I came from and I live with some pretty annoying intolerances that I can’t do much about - but I want you to see that I love Rome, that Italy is my home and my backyard and I will take you by the hand and show you her secrets, like for real. We do custom tailored itineraries, wine tours, food tours, retreats, best photo places and drinks and all you can ever even want from your Italian holiday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My social media will never be the coolest or glossiest but if you ever need to read a love letter to Rome and to Italy, this is it. I hope you will join me, but above all I hope to see you in my beloved city one day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you think? Would you hire a local guide like me on your next visit? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . #globelletravel #wanderinladies #luxurytravel #romeitaly #traveladdict #mycityloves #IlikeItaly #theglobewanderer #rometravel #WorldOfWanderlost #traveldiaries #womentravel #sheisnotlost #citizenfemme #girlsborntotravel #rometourguide #letsgoeverywhere #dametravelerrome #lovelettertoeurope #iamtb #beautifuladventurers #travelerography #rometours #travelwithaninsider #romeisbeautiful #femaletravelbloggers #tourguidemitra⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just down the street from St Peters basilica lays the round structure of Castel Sant’Angelo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀It was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Construction of the mausoleum started in 123 AD and finished in 139 AD, during the reign of Hadrian’s successor, Antoninus Pius. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ At the time which the Castel Sant’Angelo was constructed it was the tallest building in Rome, and originally the mausoleum was a decorated cylinder, with a garden top and golden quadriga. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The mausoleum was connected to the city at the other side of the river by a newly constructed bridge, the Pons Aelius.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Perhaps the most visited church in the world, St Peter’s basilica in the Vatican City sees up to 60,000 visitors daily in high season. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But - St. Peter’s Basilica isn’t a cathedral—or the official seat of the Pope. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ True story: For all its importance, St. Peter’s Basilica isn’t the official seat of the Pope. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nor is it first in rank among Rome’s basilicas. Both of those accolades go, instead, to San Giovanni in Laterano (St. John Lateran), the mother church of the Roman Catholic church. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But because of the size of St. Peter’s, and its location next to the residence of the Pope, most of the Church’s most crucial ceremonies are held here instead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And did you know the dome is so tall that you could fit the Statue of Liberty standing underneath it, with room to spare? You can climb the 500+ steps and see the best view in Rome for yourself if you’d like- but if you’re claustrophobic you won’t enjoy the slanting, narrow walk, be warned 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . #liveauthentic #postcardsfromtheworld #luxurytravel #romeitaly #traveladdict #living_europe #IlikeItaly #traveldeeper #rometravel #WorldOfWanderlost #culturetrip #italy_vacations #sheisnotlost #citizenfemme #girlsborntravel #rometourguide #letsgoeverywhere #dametravelerrome #lovelettertoeurope #iamtb #mycityloves #wearetravelgirls #rometours #exploretocreate #loves_rome #femaletravelbloggers #tourguidemitra

Fontana delle tartarughe, Taddeo Landini later restored by Gianlorenzo Bernini. The legend wants that Bernini fixed the water of this fountain to bring fresh water to the Jews who were confined in the ghetto. He also added the turtles because they represent the Jews, who exist since always and wander carrying their homes, families and traditions. Bernini was an illuminated intellectual. #jewishrome #localguides #rome #roma #livelikealocal #travelblog #walkingtour #romanjews #jewishghetto #walkingtour #jewishghettorome #localguides #ancientrome #iloverome #loverome #romanruins #jewishmuseum #walkingtours #jewishquarter #romanhistory #loveroma #loverome #ricksteves #amisraelchai #jewishhistory #rometour #rometourguide #rometours #thingstodoinrome #rometourism #koshertours #jewishroma #romanjews

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Look at these guys. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The little guy on the left was living alone in a staircase for 4 years, never saw the outside. The little white one in the middle was pulled out as a part of a police raid, an illegal breeder kept her and five other dogs in a closet with no light in the garden. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The red little fox was thrown out with a bag of garbage on the highway in Naples. Broken pelvic bone and three missing teeth from abuse. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Italy is a nation that abandons every year over 135,000 cats and dogs. There are over 600,000 stray dogs roaming free in Italy and only 33% are caught and taken into kennels. The Regions that have more strays in the territory are: Puglie 70,600; Campania: 70,000; Sicily: 68,000. Calabria 65,000; Lazio: 60,000. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Summer is the worst with tens of thousands of dogs being abandoned on the highway as there is a twisted belief that a quick death by car is better. Combined with a catholic society that doesn’t believe in spaying or neutering, the problem of unwanted dogs is massive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can combine your holiday with either volunteering at a shelter for a day, donate food or money, or even come home with the ultimate souvenir - a dog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀We work together with @animalswl which is an amazing organization here in Italy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And did you know over 25% of the dogs are purebreds?

One of my favourite corners in downtown Rome just off to Campo dei Fiori is Piazza del Biscione. Here most of the palaces are built on the ruins of the theatre built by Pompey in 55 BC but I like especially this building that features some of the original paintings and a "Madonnella", a small image of the Vergin Mary put up there to protect people. This particular building once was the stables for the nearby Palazzo Orsini . . #rome #prettylittleitaly #welltraveled #italytrip #stayandwander #traveldeeper #suitecasetravels #doyoutravel #travelawesome #travelwithme #discoverrome #rometravel #rometrip #travelinrome #whatitalyis #vaticantourguide #vaticanprivatetour #visitrome #iloverome #browsingrome #romeandyou #rometourguide #italian_vacations #wheninrome #italytravel #seeromewithme . .

Ponte Fabricio built in 62 BCE is the oldest bridge of Rome. It’s also known as Pons Judaeorum or the bridge of the Jews since it connects the ghetto with Trastevere #jewishrome #localguides #rome #roma #livelikealocal #travelblog #walkingtour #romanjews #jewishghetto #walkingtour #jewishghettorome #localguides #ancientrome #iloverome #loverome #romanruins #jewishmuseum #walkingtours #jewishquarter #romanhistory #loveroma #loverome #ricksteves #amisraelchai #jewishhistory #rometour #rometourguide #rometours #thingstodoinrome #rometourism #koshertours #jewishroma #romanjews

During the roman jewish wedding, below the chuppà, the brother of the groom holds this torch lit for the whole ceremony. From here comes the common expression ‘reggere il Moccolo’ or ‘to hold the candle for someone’ which means to be the chaperon or the third wheel. Lots of our ancient traditions are today part of Roman’s culture too.

This is our Tempio Maggiore or main synagogue of Rome. Completed in 1904 after only 3 years of works, it represents the emancipation achieved by the Jews of Rome after centuries in the ghetto. The story wants the architets Armanni and Costa trying to please the Jews in anyway proposing many styles, the right solution seems to be the ‘eclectic’ style we see today.

Some of the beautiful Torah covers exhibited in the Jewish Museum of Rome. During the ghetto times Jews could only lend money and sell second hand rags. The Jewish women became the most experienced seamstresses in town who would work for the aristocratic ladies, making dresses. Once the ladies were tired of the old dress and wanted a new dress, the Jewish seamstresses would convert the dress into a Torah cover. I would say that we are the only Jews in the world who can say ‘dressing the Torah’.

With its irregular butterfly design, the beautiful “Scalina Spagna”, or Spanish Steps are just one of these must see places when in Rome and a great example of Roman Baroque Style. It’s a great place to just sit down and enjoy the atmosphere and views of the Eternal City. The steps are a wide irregular gathering place consisted of 138 steps placed in a mix of curves, straight flights, vistas and terraces. They connect the lower Piazza di Spagna with the upper piazza Trinita dei Monti, with its beautiful twin tower church dominating the skyline. The Spanish steps were built in 1723-1725 by a design of the rather little known architect Francesco de Sanctis, and was built in order to link the the Trinità dei Monti church that was under the patronage of the king of France, with the Spanish square below. The long, triangular Spanish square is named after the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See. In the 17th century, the area around the embassy was even considered Spanish territory. The idea of connecting the church with the square below originates from the 17th century, when the French also planned a statue of King Louis XIV of France at the top of the staircase. This plan was never executed, due to the refusal of the Pope, which one would have to consider fair enough considering Rome was more or less his city until the late 1800’s 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . #globelletravel #wanderinladies #luxurytravel #romeitaly #traveladdict #theprettycities #IlikeItaly #theglobewanderer #rometravel #WorldOfWanderlost #discoverunder10k #womentravel #sheisnotlost #citizenfemme #girlsborntotravel #rometourguide #letsgoeverywhere #dametravelerrome #lovelettertoeurope #iamtb #beautifuladventurers #solofemaletraveler #rometours #girlboss #loves_rome #femaletravelbloggers #tourguidemitra⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I left a 9-5 existence and became an entrepreneur , I moved to Rome not knowing anyone and I’ve never looked back. I LOVE what I do. But I feel like a dying breed sometimes. Being a tour guide in the era of travel bloggers and influencers; I wonder where our profession will be in 10, 20, 30 years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We who studied 25 000 sites and went through a two year exam to get our license to prove to you, by board approval, we are a seal of guarantee that you will be shown and taught the best and the truest. You instead rely on Wikipedia and write travel guides to a city you visit once. You feel that by not having a guide, you are true to yourself and explore freely, yet I watch feed after feed with the same coffee shops, same gelato shops, same pizza places - and they are all on the very beaten path. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not all countries have guides, those with an exceptionally rich and long history do, Italy alone houses 40% of the UNESCO world heritage list. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A licensed tour guide isn’t some old, musty and tweed clad drawled boring you out of your mind; it’s also people like us; the young (well..) and the passionate and the ones who tell you the gossip of the behind the scenes of the lives of artists, who they are, whom they hated and why. You come to Italy and yes it’s pretty and yes the pretty colors and oh the food, but do you leave knowing WHY the Renaissance was such a game changer? Why the David stands in the direction he does? What Botticelli did on the walls of the Sistine chapel and what did Michelangelo do to Adam? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But my biggest fear is also that no one cares anymore, except the older crowds. But what happens when they go? Will we, as well? How much cultural and archeological and historical knowledge will be lost, because all that mattered was the photo and the ✅ of the bucket list; to see but not understand? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thoughts?
