Hi everyone, my name is Giovanny and I've lived in Ottawa for seven years. I love this city and I love sharing it with our visitors. I'm passionate about history and meeting new people. Sometimes we visit places and don't know their hidden stories, their importance, and their legacy. My goal is to make sure that doesn't happen to you when you visit Ottawa!
