Hi!
My name is Edoardo, Italian by birth, Portuguese by choice.I have a passion for trees, wild plants, seeds and interesting people.Wild food foraging is my favourite hobby.I'm a qualified tour guide (registration n° 1211/2019) and official translator/interpreter at several Court of Justice all over Portugal.
For many years I've worked as a plant scientist.My background is forestry and agronomy.I'm currently an elected member of the ISTA Forest tree and shrub seed technical committee, a designated member of the IUCN Species Survival Commission and ISTA representative at OECD Forest Seed meetings.
Happily married with Antonella and no kids.
As a local guide, these are my "superpowers":
- I know the best time of day to show up to avoid crowds;
- I can show you a side of the places that tourists don't think to visit;
- I know the best restaurants away from the busy tourist areas;
- I know the right people;
- You won't have to worry where to find a parking spot;
- I am spontaneous, flexible, and always have a "plan B" in place;
- I'll help you make meaningful connections with a place.
Looking forward to meeting you!
