Ciao! My name is Alessandra and I’m a photographer, artist, travel writer, hospitality marketer and event planner. I have spent my life living between London, NYC and the tiny island of Ischia. Welcome to Real Guides.
Real Guides is a collection of travel guides written by real people.
Over the years I have been lucky enough to meet incredible people from all over the world. From Parisian chefs to Swedish rockstars to Italian DJs, I’m lucky to call some extraordinary people friends. Their generosity in showing me their version of a place has made my life feel so full and beautiful.
As a photographer, I have always felt inclined to document and share my experiences. However, Real Guides was born when I felt sharing a photograph was simply not enough. When I have something special my first instinct is to share it with others and Real Guides will do just that.
This will be a space where you can discover real travel guides written by real people. In this time of virality and hyper-curated experiences I hope to carve out a very real little corner of the Internet. I’ll also be sharing my own guides to the places I visit and local tips for the places I call home (and everything in between).
I hope you join me on this very real adventure!
