Ciao! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Laura, and I’d love to share my passion for Liguria with you. I bring my love of hiking and language learning to help you experience the best of this wonderful Italian region.
Let’s take this journey together, blending culture, nature, and fun.
Riviera Walk and Talk is inspired by my years spent travelling the world, fuelled by a passion for languages, nature, and meaningful connections.
Your Unique Experience Awaits
Hiking Tours
Explore Portofino, Cinque Terre, and hidden gems on guided hikes. Let me show you the natural beauty and stories of Liguria, with trails tailored to your interests and abilities.
Language Immersions
Say goodbye to boring lessons! Practise Italian or English while walking stunning coastal paths.
Walking stimulates your brain, boosts mood, and turns language practice into a fun and interactive experience.
Nature Immersions
Enjoy peaceful walks surrounded by lush greenery, your opportunity for relaxation and self-care. Connect with nature, unwind, observe, and explore the enchanting Ligurian landscape at your own pace.
In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.
