Hi, I'm Francesco!

Instagram: @frabackpacker [text me here if you want to meet up or if you need to be hosted. After getting many many requests on this account, I must say that I left CS after they installed a paywall, it goes against my idea of CS, I paid to update it].

I also work at a e-bike tour/rent shop in Nervi, feel free to pop in 😊

Anyway, I'm a student at Bergamo University. I'm about to complete my MA in Planning and Management of Tourism Systems after getting my BA in Linguistic Mediation. Even though I studied languages, my career choice is related to travel photography and tourism. Going to New Zealand in 2015 changed my life and coming back from Aoateroa without any nice pictures taken by me, made me pick up a camera and I got in love with photography in the process. I love challenging myself physically and mentally in fact last April I ran my first marathon and now I run almost every day (I have an addicted personality) - In November 2019 I also ran the Nice-Cannes Marathon in 3h33m (with a 40 min improvement from the Manchester Marathon) Now I work in Genoa as a Content and Tour Manager for a Bike Start-Up Company
