BIO
I'm Nerodavalos. A wine? A color? A historic place? Who knows.
I was born and live in southeastern Sicily, although my genetics betray a Greek-Middle Eastern origin.
My gaze has always been focused on research and understanding nature and humanity. After graduating in History and Conservation of Architectural and Environmental Heritage, I conducted historical research, editing publications on ancient production processes.
My instinct for exploration, in time and space, first led me to become an environmental hiking guide (AIGAE) and to lead school excursions and backpacking trips for young people with a "no mobile/unknown destination" approach (Sicily, Morocco, Malta, and Turkey). Later, I qualified as an official tourist guide to lead foreigners on cultural itineraries in Sicily and groups on hiking trips.
In 2006, I began collaborating with the magazine Suq. Unconventional Sicily as a writer and "hunter" for unconventional elements of the Sicilian landscape.
I'm intrigued by the range from the silent, dark dimension of the deepest cavities to the synesthetic, crowded chaos of markets. From the meticulous visions of details to the geographical perspectives of overflights.
Passionate about cooking as a profound aspect of a culture, an opportunity for cross-fertilization, a manifestation of love for ourselves and others.
Travel? A lifestyle, a tool for self-knowledge and the world, an opportunity for evolution, an exercise in "feeling," a current to be embraced.
