Andrea grew up in a small village in northern Italy, where he spent his childhood exploring the countryside between the Venice Lagoon and the Dolomitic Alps. Raised by a family of farmers, he developed an early appreciation for the land and its wild inhabitants.

In his teenage years, Andrea embarked on a journey around the globe, immersing himself in biodiversity, photography, history and archaeology. He worked as an animal rehabilitator in the Amazon and Andes, confronting the challenges of wildlife trafficking and conservation. Later, in Australia, he cared for marsupials and reptiles in zoological parks and educated visitors in multiple languages.

Having visited nearly 50 countries, Andrea eventually returned to Italy to channel his experiences into a career in guiding. He became a certified naturalist for Dolomites National Park and shared his passion for the environment with travelers from around the world.

Today, Andrea combines his deep knowledge of Italy’s landscapes, history, culture and gastronomy to create immersive travel experiences. From his native Veneto to Tuscany and Sicily, he introduces travelers to the country’s wild places, heritage, and traditions—always guided by his philosophy that “Life is a trip; traveling is living twice."
