Well,\u00a0 I&#8217;m not from New York ( or any other place in the US for that matter) I came here few years ago from Florence, Italy as tourist myself and then fell in love with this vibrant city (and not only the city&#8230;)\u00a0 and decided to stay.<\/p>\n<p>I was struck\u00a0also by\u00a0the amazing architecture, I&#8217;m very passionate about Art Deco and New York is the &#8220;Mecca&#8221; of this exciting and elegant style . I discovered then so many more aspect to this city that I used to know and that usually people who don&#8217;t live here , really know. Here i found the inspiration to follow my creativity and I designed a line of accessories for children and room decor and open my own internet based company , AnHandmade Designs.<\/p>\n<p>I was always very creative , but never thought to develop my passion into a real business. New York gave me a special energy and helped me believe in myself and my potential.<\/p>\n<p>A little over two years ago I felt the need to share all my knowledge about New York as an &#8220;insider&#8221; who also still has a tourist point of you, so that people that are visiting the city can appreciate a little bit more of the &#8220;real&#8221; Big Apple and the incredible energy that it transmits through its people. So I decided to become a New York City Licensed Sightseeing Guide and start this new adventure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2266\" src=\"https:\/\/barefootnewyork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/New-York-City-Licensed-Sightseeing-Guide-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tesserino di Guida Turistica autorizzata per la citt\u00e0 di New York\" width=\"642\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barefootnewyork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/New-York-City-Licensed-Sightseeing-Guide-1.jpg 642w, https:\/\/barefootnewyork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/New-York-City-Licensed-Sightseeing-Guide-1-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m convinced that there isn&#8217;t a tour more interesting than another, there isn&#8217;t a &#8220;One Fits All&#8221; solution.
