Luisa decided to take on a new challenge by setting up her own business.

After working for a decade at the reception of the Albergo Pestalozzi in Lugano, she left for a stay in Australia. Initially she was scheduled to stay 3 months to study the English language, but in truth she stayed there for more than a year.

When she returned to Ticino, she began working at the Campofelice Campground in Tenero. First in reception and then in the store.

Since this was a seasonal job, during the remaining months he did not have to be bored. In fact, during the months leading up to the holidays, she worked as an auxiliary at Migros.

She also worked as a receptionist at Migros.

To complete the year there still remained the months of January and February. Then here her great passion was born: volunteering in Africa.

Back in 2006 she started her humanitarian adventure in Kenya: first with the ATKYE association and then in 2013 she founded her own small association called LUMO RAFIKI.

Every year he travels to Watamu. The first stays were 3-4 weeks, then about 2 months.

Since mid-January 2020 she left again for Kenya convinced that in March 2020 she would return and immediately begin her new adventure.
