Who am I ?
Who am I?
Hello and thank you for stopping by. My name is Minanda, and while I now call Vienna my home for work, my heart belongs to Finale Ligure, the enchanting corner of Liguria, Italy, where I grew up.
Through this blog, I aim to share not only my love for my home region, but also personal insights, stories, and recipes that capture the true essence of Ligurian life. This space is built on lived experience — places I’ve walked, food I’ve cooked, and traditions I’ve grown up with — not recycled travel lists or generic recommendations.
Whether you’re planning a visit to Liguria or simply curious to learn more about its hidden gems, this blog is meant to be a thoughtful guide to the region. I write about the breathtaking landscapes and rich history of Liguria, but also about the everyday details that often get overlooked: quiet trails, small villages, and food traditions passed down through generations.
From traditional pesto to the famous focaccia, you’ll find recipes deeply rooted in local culture and prepared with care. I’ve walked the trails, savored the food, and explored the history of Finale Ligure and surrounding villages like Orco Feglino. Here, I share personal recommendations for:
– hiking trails leading to stunning views
– secluded beaches perfect for slowing down
– authentic eateries serving dishes you’ll remember long after your trip
This blog is not meant to be a one-way street. I’d love to hear from you. Whether you have questions about Liguria, a favorite spot to share, or your own travel experiences, feel free to reach out. I hope this becomes a place to exchange ideas, inspire one another, and celebrate the beauty of discovering places more deeply.
Living in Vienna now, I use this blog as a way to stay connected to my roots and to share the magic of Liguria with readers from all over the world. If you have a passion for exploring, tasting, and understanding places beyond the surface, you’re in the right place.
If you’re new here, I recommend starting with my Finale Ligure guides or exploring the Sanremo Music Festival section.
Warm regards,
Minanda
