ABOUT US

Tripinyourshoes was born in Genoa as a non-profit association. Originally, its aim was to promote authentic and sustainable tourism through walking experiences in Italy and many other parts of the world. This project then developed as a space in which to tell the story of the territories through images and impressions gathered in the field.

Vision

To Empower young people, locals and travellers on the value of local natural territories.

Mission

Via communication and active projects, we aim to bring to life rural areas to raise awareness among people on the value and culture of local natural territories.
