Maddalena Cardone
Biography
Maddalena was born and grew up in Italy but has a Polish background as well. She started her career as a travel consultant almost six years ago at a local travel agency in Sicily. Four years ago she moved to London to start working for a UK tour operator. She is passionate about her home country of Italy but has enjoyed each of the destinations that she has travelled to and taken something special away from every experience; she recommends wandering around a new place without a map in order to interact with the people you come across, meetings that might lead to discovering some hidden secrets and gems.
