Lyon contrastable: historia y peculiaridades explicadas de forma dinamica
I'm Fernando, passionate about culture and foreign languages. I arrived in France from Peru five years ago to pursue a master's degree in tourism business management to validate the skills I'd acquired over many years in the tourism sector. Since then, I've focused on creating experiences for travelers from this country to South America and vice versa. I also have extensive experience as a guide and thoroughly enjoy showing off the region's highlights in the most dynamic and fun way.
