I had the pleasure of staying with Alessandra during my first Worldpackers experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to this kind of travel. Her hospitality was truly fantastic—warm, generous, and always thoughtful. Alessandra also has a deep knowledge of Sicilian history and culture, which she shares with such passion and clarity. I learned so much just from our conversations and exploring the area with her. Thank you for a wonderful week!!

Staying with Alessandra was fantastic! She was always attentive, making sure I experienced Palermo in the best way possible. She gave me plenty of tips on places to visit and shared many stories about them! The work was pleasant and very flexible. I truly recommend her highly!
