Hello explorers, I'm Matteo, born and raised in Salerno (1992). Since I was a child I havehad a passion for traveling and between school, soccer, and family trips i havevisitednumerous places in Italy and Europe, enrichingmy cultural background more and more. At 14, I had the opportunity to take a 3-month study holiday in the United States of America, and thiswascertainly a uniqueexperience. In fact, at the age of 21, I movedpermanently to the USA, startingmy studies in enology and making a career in the food and beverage sector. I havenowsettledhere in the US and living between San Francisco and New York hasalreadybeen 7 years. Although I havealwaysbeenverybusybetween study and work, I haveneverabandonedmypassion to visit and explore new places and countries, knowing the customs and traditions of differentcultures. Right in San Francisco, I metmywife Gabriela, with whomwe share a passion for traveling. Thuswasborn the idea of this new project called Exploriamo.net
