My name is Francesca, I was born and raised in Sardinia and I’m the founder of Liami.
As a child I was fascinated by people speaking another language and I always wished to give meaning to the sounds my ears were hearing as well as to discover cultures other than my own. I thus decided to study foreign languages at the University of Sassari, and to travel abroad for long-term study periods between England, Germany and Spain. I graduated from University with a degree in Languages, Cultures and International Communication and I completed an advanced training course in Translation for the Tourism Industry held by the College for Interpreters and Translators located in Pescara.
During my studies I started working as a hotel receptionist. Committing myself to a professional career, I have worked for more than thirteen years in four and five stars Hotels as Front Office Manager, Concierge Supervisor and Resident Manager.
These were years of analyses, inspiring encounters and confrontations that make me feel a strong desire to offer visitors a high-quality and unforgettable travel experience generating at the same time a positive impact on local communities while preserving the environment. All this leads me to the decision to learn more about my island and to take part in educational courses about Sardinia’s geology, archeology, wild herbs and plants’ identification, traditional food and wines, environment conservation and sustainability.
I follow my dream, I travel and explore Sardinia on foot, I become a licensed tourist guide and an Aigae associated hiking guide.
