Hi !

My name is Agata and I am a Pole. I live in Liguria for several years and I must admit that it stole my heart (even my husband is Ligurian 😉 ) I love exploring this region. Just during one of my trips I thought it would be a great idea to share my experience with people who want to visit it. That's how the idea of "That's Liguria" was born 🙂
