Hi, I'm Maria and I've lived in Naples my whole life. Over the past few years I became a tourist in my own city like never before. What I discovered is that Naples is so much more than coffee, pizza, sea and Vesuvius. There's a whole other side to it, and I can't wait to show you.

Beyond Naples, I've explored quite a bit of the Campania region and many Italian cities, as well as destinations abroad like Prague, Budapest, Málaga, London and Paris.

A little something extra about me: I'm a curious, fun and creative person — or at least that's what others say! I love losing myself in nature and in a good book, and I tend to dive deep into philosophy and psychology. Movement is at the core of my life: right now I'm taking a theatre workshop and a Latin dance class. Safe to say — I'm always up for new adventures!

Not sure where to begin? I've got you. Whether it's figuring out how to actually get around the city or reaching that one hidden spot, I'll give you more than just transport info, I'll hand you real tools and tips you can actually use.

I love nature, so I know pretty much every green corner of the city.

I also love trying new places to eat, which means I have a very real, very personal list (vegetarian/vegan options): think hole-in-the-wall sandwich spots, great pizza, street food, and (my personal obsession) breakfast. Want to know where I go every morning and my favourite bakeries?

On top of transport, nature and food, I can also help you find free language exchange events, point you toward the best of what's on in the city (live music, karaoke, you name it), suggest outdoor activities, and guide you through Naples' museums, including the lesser-known ones and the hidden gems that most visitors completely miss.
