Suzanne
Operations Coordinator
Campinglife has been very deeply ingrained in my life. From an early age, my parents took me to various campsites, mostly on Lake Garda. Years later, this love of travel resulted in a study in tourism. I have since worked in tourism for international companies. I have traveled and seen a lot, but Italy remains my favorite. For me it is more than just a holiday destination – it is the place where I feel at home. I really enjoy the culture, the people, the food and the beautiful nature. This role as an Operations Coordinator at Estivotravel, combines my passion for organization and hospitality with my love for camping holidays and Italy. Besides my love for traveling, I like to ski, relax in the sauna, and I like to lose myself in a good book or good series.

Travelling has always been a great interest of Justyna's, as it gives her a sense of freedom.
